kernel configuration file:
device iflib
device enic

DESCRIPTION
The enic driver provides support for Cisco Virtual Interface Card.
Support is limited to basic network connectivity. Media is controlled by
the NIC itself since there can be multiple virtual PCI NIC devices
exposed to the PCI bus.
HARDWARE
The enic driver should supports all known Cisco VIC cards.
CONFIGURATION
The enic network interface is configured using ifconfig(8) and the
sysctl(8) tree at dev.enic.<N>. All configurable entries are also
tunables, and can be put directly into the loader.conf(5) for persistent
configuration.
