At this point, you're supposed to type "dmesg" and see what messages
(if any) were generated by the kernel. If kldload won't load the
module, it's usually because the kernel doesn't like it for some
reason. You'll find out why if you look at the console messages
with dmesg.
(Note: you're _SUPPOSED_ to be watching the console when you load
new drivers. You must have X running and don't have a console window
open.)
