0.  Start with a CAMified kernel source tree.

!!!  Copy your currently working kernel to /kernel.WORKS (the xl driver
!!!  is still under development, there are still fatal bugs for some
!!!  cards).  This way if your new kernel falls over you can still boot
!!!  your system.

1.  Copy if_xl.c and if_xlreg.h to /sys/pci.
2.  Modify /sys/conf/files and add 

pci/if_xl.c             optional xl device-driver

    to it.

3.  Add

device xl0

    to your kernel config file.

4.  Config, build, and install your kernel.
5.  Reboot and enjoy.
