i have my sound card working, but need to learn about module management for freebsd still. i'm very hazy :)... So you are saying that for all the sound card support there is a module already built that you can load/unload with kldload, and you only need to add "device pcm" (for example) to your kernel config and recompile/reinstall if you want it to be a static part of the kernel? are all device drivers handled likewise? > On Tue, May 20, 2003 at 04:38:31PM -0400, Konokrad wrote: > > Hello again.
