Hmm. My instance loads

13    1 0xffff00011ed17000    2a000 rp1_eth.ko

It was loaded like this:

doas make load

I used https://github.com/aphor/FreeBSD15-RPi5-modules.git

OS is 16.0-CURRENT #0 n286096-490c53e9353f GENERIC-NODEBUG

what does 'make status' show from where you compiled/installed it?

here it says:

$ make status
=== Module Status ===
BCM2712 Common Hardware:
   ✓ bcm2712 is loaded
RPi5 Board Support:
   ✓ rpi5 is loaded
RP1 Ethernet (Milestone 1):
   ✓ rp1_eth is loaded

=== sysctl Interface ===
   ✓ hw.rpi5 sysctl available
     hw.rpi5.fan.current_state: 2
     hw.rpi5.fan.cpu_temp: 62800
   ✓ hw.rp1_eth sysctl available
     hw.rp1_eth.cfg.status_decoded: raw=0x00000000 link=DOWN speed=10M duplex=half
