For example, the ucom driver is present in the GENERIC = kernel in this way. My expectation was that "kldstat -v" would list it, = if present, but it does not. A design flaw? Sounds like a bug, but I'm not sure where.. Maybe ucom doesn't appear because it doesn't have a DRIVER_MODULE() = declaration (because it isn't a driver). -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
