installing a new device driver

[Jack Mc Lauren]

This is the output of pciconf -lv :

    vendor     = 'FarSite Communications Limited'
    device     = 'G.SHDSL Intelligent Sync Comms Card (FarSync DSL-S1)'
    class      = simple comms

So what is the next step ?

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.
