The LKM mechanism has been replaced by a newer kernel-based linker called KLD. If you absolutely must use LKM, you can add it as an option to your kernel config but I would urge you to move to the new mechanism. There are plenty of examples of how to build KLD modules in /usr/share/examples/kld and /usr/src/sys/modules. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
