No, because it isn't needed. FreeBSD automatically loads the drivers for the hardware that is present. Additional hardware can be accessed via loadable modules (which's functionality you can include into the kernel by compiling your own, but it mostly isn't neccessary). Again, a copy of the error message or more detailed explaination of possibly malicious behaviour would really help to recognize the problem, and to help correcting it. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
