Hello, Historically, 82576 and I350 VFs attached as 'igbN' on FreeBSD. As of today, on -CURRENT they will now attach as 'igbvN': https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=100f7b8d39b273d0083b3f5a884fc00cc73169fd The driver was split, following the style of ix/ixv because the previous version was accidentally complex, trying to manage the differences between a PF and a VF with a spaghetti of if statements. Additionally, the PF driver is extended to fully support iovctl(4) and hardened beyond known open source implementations. igbv, Linux and DPDK guests were tested. Options available are specified in igb(4). Due to the complexity of these changes, I do not plan to MFC them gratuitously. Contact me if you have a need and we can figure out how to provide a compatibility name. Regards, Kevin Bowling
