It seems that every time I turn around, another driver has moved into the kld tree. I generally hard wire all of my drivers, but I see now that even network drivers are moving out into kld-land. Should I get with the times and dynamic load things (it would simplify kernel config across machines), or are the old ways better? If so, do I have to specify the klds, or how to I trigger the load? I see that most of the filesystems are now dynamic, which sounds good to me. -- Robert Sexton - robert@kudra.com, Cincinnati OH, USA "I was shooting from the hip in a dark room using a gun loaded with blanks." - Jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
