Because of two reasons, first I'm studying how to writing device drivers for FreeBSD and doing something like "Changing igb to foo in if_igb.c" could be very useful, second I want to change this name every where e.g. sysctl. Besides that doing this in rc.conf causes an extra boot time, and we are trying to decrease boot time. Please help about doing this job ...

I installed FreeBSD 9.2 (amd64) on it (using dvd1.iso *), removing FreeDOS and later noticed that the Wi-Fi is not working. Then I checked the list of hardwares supported by FreeBSD 9.2 (which I should have done prior to installing the OS) and found out that some of the components of my PC are not in the list. For example the Wi-Fi adapter (RalinkTech VQF-RT3290), the Bluetooth adapter (same model name as the Wi-Fi adapter, Ralink VQF-RT3290), and I do not even know if the Ethernet interface is supported. Later I realized that since the Wi-Fi adapter is not recognized, the FreeBSD installation said something like - 'no configurable NIC found' (or something similar, I hope you know what I mean). I really want to use FreeBSD. My other computer has Windows and Ubuntu on it. I want to port some of my code to FreeBSD. What to do? Please help! I do not know how to write drivers (I would love to be able to though) ! Help, please! * I converted the iso to a usb installation medium to install FreeBSD. I have created an image of the flash drive using dd(1) on ubuntu and saved it to my external hard drive for future use. Thank you. I will be really grateful if someone helps.help
