Hmm. On re-reading the whole thread I notice that you didn't show what Andrey asked about, and while I don't know if it should actually affect the module loading, it's said that you need this in your loader.conf: : Also make sure if license acknowledge variable is set (use kenv on : this purpose): : # kenv | grep 'wpi' : legal.intel_wpi.license_ack="1" Otherwise it does look like your 6.3 install is missing something. cheers, Ian (Sam, sorry if I complicated matters, but many new users don't know about using 'kldstat -v' to check modules, in my humble experience)
