Hi Folks, Hopefully a quick question. Is there any reason to prefer KLD modules for drivers etc over static linking? For example, KLDs are covenient, loading and unloading for development but is it a case of using KLD modules for development then building drivers statically into the kernel when development is complete.Or is it a case of KLDs are now supported and are the preferred method of development moving forward. I've read the online KLD docs, developed the code and greped through kern_linker.c so I understand how to develop KLDs it but would like to supplement my understanding.
