I haven't really heard much about kld, or I have suppressed it. :-) Any info that you can give me (us?) on what it will be like? Will that allow us to do "load driver, probe, if not found - unload driver" stuff at boot time? So that all drivers in /drivers/ are loaded and probed, or something, which would make kernel recompile to add soundcard, etc, a mere memory, and be replaced by "cp"? :-) As I said, any info would be appreciated. Maybe points to where it's been said before? /Mikael
