I placed the driver , rtl8187Se_sys.ko in /boot/modules I added rtl8187Se_sys_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf I can kldload rtl8187Se_sys and everything seems OK. If I reboot, however, I get the following error during boot (truncated to what I think is the relevant info); Fata trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0; apic id = 00 fault virtual address = 0xf00032d4 fault code = supervisor read, page not present ... current process = 12 (swi4: clock) I am a little lost at this point. If I start in bootloader prompt mode, I type; OK> unload OK> load /boot/kernel/kernel OK> boot and everything works fine. Any and all help is appreciated. Mark Moellering
