Maybe you should elaborate as to why..

It shouldn't do any *harm*.

The only downside will be that if you build a new kernel you'll no longer b=
e=20
able to load it automatically (because it will be in /boot/kernel.old)

=46or testing purposed you could just unpack it into, say, /tmp and then do=
=20
kldload ./if_yk.ko

If that works OK then copy it into /boot/modules and add
if_yk_load=3D"YES"
to /boot/loader.conf
