Due to the new udev version, the devices will be renamed by default to
names like enp0s3. This is not done by the kernel and no driver issue,
just a renaming at boot time done by udev.

You might have some old references to eth0 around, e.g.:
- /etc/init.d/net.eth0 (move this file to /etc/init.d/net.enp0s3)
- entries in /etc/conf.d/net (same here, rename them all to enp0s3)
- net.eth0 is maybe installed in the default runlevel. Remove it and add
net.enp0s3
- in case SSH still refuses to start, try running "/lib/rc/bin/rc-depend
-u" as root and/or setting rc_depend_strict="NO" in /etc/rc.conf
