Ah, cool. Yes, the driver for a ethernet card, from what I've observed, is
loaded when ifconfig first does a action on the interface type.

so, if you do a 'modinfo | grep qfe' and see nothing, and then 'ifconfig
qfe0 plumb', and do the 'modinfo | grep qfe' again, you'll see that the
qfe driver is now loaded.

Cool, I guess.

Of course, a drvconfig/boot -r will force all applicable drivers for a
system to be loaded, regardless of whether they're being utilized or not.
