I have no idea why you'd want to do that :) but you'll find that all the 'File exist' ones were already included in your kernel. > kldstat just after system start: > Id Refs Address Size Name > 1 1 0xffffffff80100000 e58280 kernel 'kldstat -v' will show all modules included in your (GENERIC?) kernel. > kldload -v /boot/kernel/if_*.ko: > kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/if_ae.ko: File exists > kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/if_age.ko: File exists > kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/if_alc.ko: File exists > kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/if_ale.ko: File exists > kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/if_an.ko: File exists > kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/if_ath.ko: Exec format error > kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/if_aue.ko: Exec format error > kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/if_axe.ko: Exec format error I'm not certain about the 'Exec format error' messages. Then below are listed the modules loaded that weren't in your kernel. > Loaded /boot/kernel/if_bridge.ko, id=2 > Loaded /boot/kernel/if_bwi.ko, id=4 [..] > Loaded /boot/kernel/if_vte.ko, id=45 > Loaded /boot/kernel/if_wpi.ko, id=46 > > kldstat after run kldload: > Id Refs Address Size Name > 1 151 0xffffffff80100000 e58280 kernel > 2 1 0xffffffff81012000 585a if_bridge.ko > 3 1 0xffffffff81018000 3534 bridgestp.ko > 4 1 0xffffffff8101c000 151d3 if_bwi.ko [..] Now showing all modules that were loaded in addition to those in kernel. Again, 'kldstat -v' will show all of them, with details of loaded ones. cheers, Ian
