Hi,

All the `/sys/class/net/<device>/*` entries are sysctl(8) entries, like 
Sobczak, pointed out. They are converted simply by replacing "/" with 
".", and there are some helper functions in:

contrib/ofed/libibumad/sysfs.c:	if (sysctlbyname(PATH_TO_SYS(path), str, 
&len, NULL, 0) == -1)

To do this conversion automagically. you specify the Linux equivalent as 
a "const char *" pointer, and then it looks up the value for you under 
FreeBSD.

We may not have all the entries, but most you need is there, and some 
additions specific to FreeBSD.
