As I understand, kernel at booting time must detect my card, and make changes to its config file, so I don't need to edit kernel config file myself. And if it didn't detect - then I must force this process by manual editing config. Am I right? And another question - if kernel detects my card - I must not recompile kernel? I simply want to know about this process - it isn't described in any manual I've found :( -- Best regards, Dennis mailto:freebsd@omni.dp.ua To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
