From https://ci.freebsd.org/job/FreeBSD-stable-12-i386-test/754/testReport/junit/sys.netmap/ctrl-api-test/main/ : open(/dev/netmap): No such file or directory It looks like the ^/stable/12 i386 kernel doesn't have netmap support in it, which triggers the error noted above.
I see the same issue with ^/stable/11.
What is the best way to solve it ? 1. Adding a kernel FEATURE(netmap,"...") declaration and check for this in the test? 2. Checking for /dev/netmap in the test script ?
(In reply to Olivier Cochard from comment #2) The best way to solve this is to check for the kernel module. netmap(4) doesn't have any kernel features associated with it, so adding a check wouldn't do much good. I'll have a patch out soon for this.
