I'm new to FreeBSD myself :). Manually as root run kldload driver_name this is something I already used myself. To load the module automagically at startup, edit /boot/loader.conf driver_name="YES" I never used this myself until now. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-modules.html Hth, Ralf
