I have took look at if_igb.c file, how can I detect the type of cards before filling driver_t structure out? e.g. If type=bar then filling with igb as name else if type=foo then filling with foo as name.

Why don't you use ifconfig igb0 name foo0 to do that?

You can use rc.conf's ifconfig_igb0_name="foo0" to do that automaticly
on boot everytime.
