Determining if a DLKM needs to be configured
To determine if a DLKM is configured:
-
Change directory by executing
cd /etc/conf/mod.d
-
List the contents of the directory.
-
Is the module-name listed?
If no, the DLKM has not been configured.
If yes, the DLKM probably has been configured.
NOTE:
A DLKM can be loaded from any place by specifying
the full path to the
modadmin(1M)
command.
Therefore, this procedure cannot give you the complete result.
If a module was loaded by specifying the full path
rather than registering it with the kernel using the
idbuild -M module-name
command, the DLKM mechanism will not know about it and a later load may fail.
See
idbuild(1M).
Configuration is a necessary first step toward using a dynamically
loadable kernel module, but it still needs to be loaded
before you can use it.
