oh, okay. i thought FreeBSD supported autoprobing like Linux does. would
the future releases of FreeBSD support autoprobing or do we see a support
for autoprobing in the near future?

anyways, thanks for the help Doug! more power! 

p.s. i'm really satisfied with the performance of FreeBSD. we're currently
using it as the platform for all applications to be developed in the
university.
