However, when I load the module with kldload(8), I got following message on console and loading is failed: link_elf: symbol BUS_READ_IVAR undefined How can I do for linking this module to my 6-current kernel? Since this kernel module is provided as binary form only (there's no source code available at this time), I cannot recompile it on 6-current. Please note that this module just loads fine on 4.10. P.S. for those interested: the module I'm trying to use is actually VMware's "vmxnet.ko" virtual ethernet device driver. -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita
