That is fine. I don't think it is the Oncore driver's fault. I think
probably none of the drivers will work but that is just a guess.

About the -D2 or any number after the -D in fact, I see that there was
a lot of changes in ntpd/ntpd.c lately, this piece looks like it might
be the culprit:

On the brighter side, at least nowadays FreeBSD is shipping with a new
enough version of ntpd, so that it has working IPv6, multicast and
refclock support, but it is old enough not to have any of the latest
breakage. :-)))
