 Hello,

 That's because linux (actually linux.ko) is a container not a module.
 Try kldstat -m linuxelf and you get what I mean.

 The same:
 
 kldstat -m vgapci/radeon
 
 > (mjolnir) 14:34 security/openvpn# kldstat -m drm
 > kldstat: can't find module drm: No such file or directory
 > (mjolnir) 14:34 security/openvpn# kldstat -m wlan_wep
 > Id  Refs Name
 >  41    1 wlan_wep
 
 In rare cases module and its contaner have the same name :-)
 
 What are you looking for is kldstat -n <filename>.
 
 Jukka, if you don't object I close the PR.
