Fascinating. I made a bad "assumption" about network devices. It seems they
are created dynamically without any presence in /dev.
IIRC, *BSD provides /dev nodes for network devices which the user-space can
use for configuring it and such. But it's many years since I played with
FreeBSD, so my memory is scarce.
Nope, BSD (FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc) do not show any network devices under /dev.
And
kernel device configuration is done via sysctl commands as opposed to using
/sysfs in linux.
