finding the correct man page ???

2005-10-27 Thread ke.han

Hello list,
I am  working on configuring a new system and have run across maillist 
comments such as:


The comment in GENERIC is not accurate, the bge driver supports 5721
based cards for a couple of month now (the manpage in RELENG_5 is correct).

The problem is, which man page? There are so many man pages, I rarely 
know how to find what I'm looking for.  The whatis command does no good 
for this sort of search.  Since I'm still pretty new to things, is there 
some searching mechanism or naming structure I'm not clued into?


thanks, ke han
