Make it clear that put the extention name of a module is not yet necessary, as in 'kldload geom_mirror' vs. 'kldload geom_mirror.ko'. Add more example of automatically loaded modules at boot time. Fix: Here is a patch: How-To-Repeat: n.a.

The word ``operation'' is not very nice here. Modules may be required for some ``feature'' but they don't ``operate'' on anything.

You mean there are plans to make it mandatory? Ouch! Because i think it was necessary to keep the extension in the past, i wanted this to happear in the manual page: so i wanted to say "anymore", not "yet"... sorry for the mistake. But maybe it is not worth noting it. >> -Some modules (ipfw, ipf, etc.) may be automatically loaded at boot >> -time by having their operation enabled in >> +Some modules (lomac, pf, ipfw, ipf, etc.) may be automatically loaded >> +at boot time by having their operation enabled in >> .Xr rc.conf 5 . > The word ``operation'' is not very nice here.
