Looking through the SVN logs, it looks like kib put an entry in the stable/12 UPDATING in r344149 when he MFC'd the "make iflib a loadable module" changes. As for the em man page, they don't note the specific "device iflib" dependency, so that needs to be added (as well as a more general update since it looks like it's out of date). Though, there is at least a mention of it using iflib near the bottom. - Eric On Fri, Feb 15, 2019 at 10:53 AM Enji Cooper <yaneurabeya@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Feb 15, 2019, at 10:46, Eric Joyner <erj@freebsd.org> wrote: > > > > ifdi_if.h is a system generated interface file that network drivers that > depend on iflib use.
