>Description:
Very non-intuitively, "kldload file.ko" ignores the file "file.ko"
if it exists in the current directly and instead loads
file.ko from /modules if it exists there.

bofur# pwd
/home/nn/w/src/bcm42xx/freebsd
bofur# ls -l if_il.ko
-rwxr-xr-x  1 nn  epi  179942 Nov 18 17:24 if_il.ko
bofur# ls -l /modules/if_il*
ls: No match.
bofur# kldload if_il.ko
kldload: can't load if_il.ko: No such file or directory
bofur# kldload ./if_il.ko
bofur#
