It doesn't apply to Celerons. > Also, I've noticed that you can get the soundcard to work in FreeBSD by > loading the module at /boot/loader.conf.

The only real downside is that you have to keep your modules in sync with your kernel. If you use 'make buildkernel' as documented then there's no problem. > Lastly, if I'll be loading the USB modules from /boot/loader.conf, do I > still need to have the USB options compiled in the kernel or that's not > necessary? Not necessary (and if you have it compiled in, you can't load the module :) Kris --ReaqsoxgOBHFXBhH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7WAFQWry0BWjoQKURAkM4AKDHTVLSAFwRKGjqTkCaxF2ykt1ryQCfV8RV djLN7rviQicjbEDNKsj9vrQ= =tiQf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ReaqsoxgOBHFXBhH-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
