NAME
     ixgbe – Intel(R) 10Gb Ethernet driver for the FreeBSD operating system

SYNOPSIS
     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your
     kernel configuration file:

           device ixgbe

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
     following line in loader.conf(5):

           if_ixgbe_load="YES"

r280182 comments:
        - The driver loadables will now match the device names, something that
          has been requested for some time.
        - Rather than a modules/ixgbe there is now modules/ix and modules/ixv
---
sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC:
 device          ix                      # Intel PRO/10GbE PCIE PF Ethernet
 device          ixv                     # Intel PRO/10GbE PCIE VF Ethernet
---
Since r280182 there is no more device named ixgbe, so the manpage name and the
statements from manpage are invalid:
device ixgbe  # for kernel configuration file
if_ixgbe_load="YES" # for loader.conf(5)
