Hi,

=20

I am newbie FreeBSD driver developer.

=20

I developed dynamically loaded module for simple hello world kind of
driver.  I can successfully dynamic load and unload the module
(hello.ko). There are other supporting files such as hello_1.c,
hello_2.c and hello.h which hets compiled when I compile hello driver.

=20

I want to statically compile this driver into FreeBSD kernel and I want
it to get loaded when FreeBSD kernel is booted.

=20

I am looking for BKM, how to do this? Any help is appreciated. If there
is any example exist for this, can you please point me to it.

=20

Thanks in advance.
