I seem to recall complaining about the name to the original submitter.
I think there was some desire to retaining naming consistency with other
operating systems. I didn't care enough to argue about it. :-)
I'd have preferred "mxge" or possibly just "myri". I *hate* it when
people put numbers in the middle of their driver names. Paricularly in
names that will be exposed to users. (So "ac97", which is a misc
module is OK. But "e1000g" is horrible.)
