Hello,
You did not understand the purpose of that parameter, it is made to ?avoid? nic_uio from pursuing the wanted NICs... so they are free to be used in the system :) Right now the code to handle it is wrong and I am trying to fix it myself.

But kldunload nic_uio only detach uio driver, don't re-attach kernel driver.

This variable is not working as intended for FreeBSD :( It does not dettach nic_uio from the wanted ports :/
