device bcmaTo load the driver as a module at boot, add this line to loader.conf(5):

DESCRIPTION
Thebcma driver provides
bhnd(4)
support for devices using the ARM AMBA-based backplane architecture found in
later Broadcom Home Networking Division's network chipsets and embedded
systems.
A common interconnect connects all of the backplane's functional blocks. These functional blocks, known as cores, use the ARM AMBA AXI or APB interface to communicate with devices attached to the interconnect.
The IP cores used in siba(4) devices were adapted by Broadcom for compatibility with the new interconnect.
