It's their latest code. em is in the standard source tree for 4.8 src/sys/dev/em you add 'device em' to your kernel config to compile it in, or you can load the module by adding 'load_if_em=YES' to loader.conf if you installed from the 4.8 CD, you will have the module present in /modules/if_em.ko you can type 'kldload if_em' to try that theory, it will load the driver, and it should now show in 'ifconfig'. --don
