We are currently planning to remove the following less-popular 10/100
Ethernet drivers in the March/April timeframe:

ae, bm, cs, de, dme, ed, ep, ex, fe, pcn, sf, sn, tl, tx, txp, vx, wb, xe

All of these drivers generate warnings in FreeBSD 12 and to the best of
my knowledge, none have cleared the bar specified in the FCP[0]:

https://github.com/freebsd/fcp/blob/master/fcp-0101.md

The easiest way for you to provide data to help our decision making is
to upload dmesgs to https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/.  If you have a
installations of FreeBSD 12 that are dependent on one of these NICs and
you can not report them this way, please feel free to contact me
directly.

them.
