This will happen presuming your module itself has been correctly laid
out. Without access to the sources for your module, that's hard to know.

These examples are extremely old. Check any of the modules in sys/
modules for better examples.

You need to list the relevant bus interface headers in your module
Makefile. Again, check any of the other network interface modules' build
infrastructure for examples. If you need more specific help, please feel
free to ask.
