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'.
