Yes, you're right !

So vxlan interface is created and brought up prior to the usb ethernet.

Hi Patrick,

Another approach to overcome this is preloading the driver via `/boot/loader.conf` since
your usb ethernet is always plugged in.

I managed to repeat the issue you reported, and can confirm that preload the usb ethernet
driver can workaround it.

Best regards,
