sure there are advantages. with a module you can change code in src, recompile the kernel module and then reload it. this lets you test your changes without having to reboot. i also use modules for devices i only attached every now and then, like a usb dongle device for doing bluetooth. i only load the modules before attaching the device and unload them after detaching the device (although i guess this could be done automatically using devd.conf) -- Alexander Best
