.Ed
.Sh BUGS
The automatic KLD module loading mechanism that works for most
other netgraph node types does not work for the
.Nm
node type,
because
.Nm
nodes are not created on demand; instead, they are created when
Ethernet interfaces are attached or when the KLD is first loaded.
Therefore, if the KLD is not statically compiled into the kernel,
it is necessary to load the KLD manually in order to bring the
.Nm
nodes into existence.
