Pyun YongHyeon has fixed a lot of driver issues (i.e. re(4), bfr(4), vr(4))
over the last few months, many are already in CURRENT or RELENG_7 (not
sure how many of them made it into 7.0-RELEASE) or posted as patches
to the current@ mailing list.

If you have problems, please see if they persist with a CURRENT snapshot.
If they do, please post to the current@ mailing list with details.

I contacted Achim Leubner not long ago, about wheather he still
maintains and supports the iir(4) driver, as claimed in the SEE ALSO
section of the manpage.  His answer was yes.

That all I know.
