Hmm, if we really want this, mdoc(7) rules say that we should also
add "if_*"'s to the NAME sections of all affected manpages, e.g.:

%%%

 .Nd "Aironet Communications 4500/4800 wireless network adapter driver"
 .Sh SYNOPSIS

%%%

But my personal opinion on this change is that it is unnecessary.
The "if_*" convention on calling network interface modules is an
internal implementation detail, and only to allow ifconfig(8) to
automatically load driver modules.

Any other opinions?
