Works fine for me (Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) under bhyve/FreeBSD 12.1).

Who cares how the interface is called? It has the same name in my
virtual Debian:

2: enp0s5: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 58:9c:fc:09:55:61 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.246.52/24 brd 192.168.246.255 scope global dynamic enp0s5
       valid_lft 78243sec preferred_lft 78243sec
    inet6 2001:470:ecba:2:5a9c:fcff:fe09:5561/64 scope global dynamic mngtmpaddr 
       valid_lft 2591870sec preferred_lft 604670sec
    inet6 fe80::5a9c:fcff:fe09:5561/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

but it works fine and even got an autoconfigured IPv6 address from the
FreeBSD host, as you see.

My config:

loader="uefi"
cpu=2
memory=1G
network0_type="virtio-net"
network0_switch="main"
disk0_type="virtio-blk"
disk0_name="disk0"
disk0_dev="zvol"

# VNC
graphics="yes"
graphics_wait="auto"
graphics_res="1280x720"
#graphics_port="5909"  
graphics_listen="192.168.4.1"
xhci_mouse="yes"

uuid="2069962f-78b3-11ea-a89e-5404a6b49a66"
network0_mac="58:9c:fc:09:55:61"

I don't give a @#$ how it is called while it works. Linux has always had
interface names quite different from *BSD.
