I believe I have seen this work properly before. Look for 'sysctl' in sys/kern/kern_linker.c to see the sysctl hooks invoked on kldload and kldunload to manage these sysctls. You will probably want to start your debugging in the unload hook as it sounds like the node is not being fully deregistered. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
