Hi!
I just uploaded/committed kldutils. This package is the equivalent of
module-init-tools for kFreeBSD. It's much simpler though. It contains the
kld* module utilities themselves (which are to be removed from freebsd-utils
now), plus an init.d script to load module on startup.
It works like the Linux one: early during boot, it processes each line in
/etc/modules and runs kldload with them. The default file is empty.
If a package needs a particular module to be loaded (e.g. pf or nmap), it can
add this module to the file in postinst and remove it in postrm.
