Then, you either add the appropriate lines to /boot/loader.conf to auto-load those modules at boot time, or you add the appropriate devices to your kernel config file and recompile the kernel. Simple as that. One of these days, I'm going to get around to writing a patch for the Handbook that lays it out a little simpler, like the above. -- Freddie Cash District HelpDesk / Network Admin http://www.sd73.bc.ca
