Example usage:

8. If you want to compile the driver into the kernel, enter:
cd ixgb-x.x.x/src
mkdir /usr/src/sys/dev/ixgb
cp if_ixgb* /usr/src/sys/dev/ixgb
cp ixgb* /usr/src/sys/dev/ixgb
cp Makefile.kernel /usr/src/sys/modules/ixgb/Makefile
Edit the /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 file, and add the following line:
dev/ixgb/ixgb_hw.c optional ixgb
dev/ixgb/ixgb_ee.c optional ixgb
dev/ixgb/if_ixgb.c optional ixgb
Remove the following lines from the /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 file, if they exist:
/dev/ixgb/if_ixgb_fx_hw.c optional ixgb
/dev/ixgb/if_ixgb_phy.c optional ixgb
Edit the kernel configuration file (i.e., GENERIC or MYKERNEL) in /usr/src/sys/
i386/conf, and ensure the following line is present:
device ixgb
Compile and install the kernel. Reboot the system for the kernel updates to
take affect.
