Read the rl(4) manual page. For this chip you need to have the following in
your kernel config:

    device miibus
    device rl

_or_ you need to load _one_ kernel module by putting

    if_rl_load=3D"YES"

in your /boot/loader.conf. The miibus(4) device contains common code for
various PHY devices.
