Determining if a DLKM needs to be configured

To determine if a DLKM is configured:

1. Change directory by executing
   
   cd /etc/conf/mod.d

2. List the contents of the directory.

3. Is the module-name listed?

   If no, the DLKM has not been configured.

   If yes, the DLKM probably has been configured.

   NOTE: A DLKM can be loaded from any place by specifying the full path to the modadmin(1M) command. Therefore, this procedure cannot give you the complete result. If a module was loaded by specifying the full path rather than registering it with the kernel using the idbuild -M module-name command, the DLKM mechanism will not know about it and a later load may fail. See idbuild(1M).

Configuration is a necessary first step toward using a dynamically loadable kernel module, but it still needs to be loaded before you can use it.
