0xecc0-0xecdf mem 0xd9e80000-0xd9efffff,0xd9ff8000-0xd9ffbfff irq 40 at device 
0.0 on pci4
ix0: Using MSIX interrupts with 9 vectors
ix0: Ethernet address: 90:e2:ba:29:c0:54

    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '82599EB 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

but both manuals ixgb and ixgbe mention a different chip, and device
man for ixb says:

    The ixgb driver provides support for PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapters based
     on the Intel 82597EX Ethernet controller chips.  The driver supports
 
man for ixgbe says:
