This behaviour is expected and documented in the ifconfig(8) manual page:
If the network interface driver is not present in the kernel then
ifconfig will attempt to load it. The -n flag disables this behavior.
Please use forums or mailing lists to ask such questions and leave Bugzilla is for problem reporting.

Steps to Reproduce: -------------------- 1) Unload the existing L2 driver. ## kldunload if_bnxt 2) Run ifconfig command with device name starting with bnxt with a number. Example:- ## ifconfig bnxt ## ifconfig bnxt234 3) In all of the above mentioned scenarios , the if_bnxt driver gets loaded. Can someone please confirm if this expected behavior?
