dynamic load of em/fxp/bge
I am trying to load the if_em, if_fxp, if_bge drivers via /boot/loader.conf. I've added if_fxp_load="YES" if_bge_load="YES" if_em_load="YES" The problem is that the bge driver doesn't load. It will if I manually load it after startup with kldload. The issue seems to be a dependency on miibus, both fxp and bge want to load it, bge gets an error that its already loaded. I tried putting 'miibus_load="YES"' in loader.conf, but the same affect is seen. I've tried from the boot prompt doing an explicit load of these manually in each order, but to no avail. As a work-around, I've placed an kldload if_bge in rc.network before the 'ifconfig -l'. Any suggestions on why the fxp/bge don't play nice when loaded automatically, but will work if run manually? Is there a timing thing that the fxp hasn't initialised its miibus yet? I have: fxp0 fxp1 bge0 in this particular machine. The bge will get miibus2 (eventually), leaving fxp0 to have miibus0, fxp1 to have miibus1 I think.
