Works, but looks weird. :-)

/boot/loader.conf:

if_smsc_load="YES"

kldstat:

Id Refs Address                Size Name
 1   11 0xffff000000000000  1340800 kernel
 3    1 0xffff00000136b000    25440 umodem.ko
 4    2 0xffff000001391000    28878 ucom.ko
 5    1 0xffff0000a9800000    2a000 if_vxlan.ko
 6    1 0xffff0000a982a000    22000 mac_ntpd.ko

So where is if_smsc.ko? If it's compiled into the kernel, then why the /boot/loader.conf entry?

Kind regards,
Patrick
