AFAIK, you should be able to build the driver as a module, tell the bootloader to pre-load the module so that the built-in driver ends up being ignored. I did that some time ago with em(4). From memory, the steps should be:
# From the source root % cd sys/modules/re % make % scp if_re.ko <target>:/boot/kernel then on the target, add in `/boot/loader.conf': if_re_load="YES" - Arnaud _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
