Under FreeBSD operating system you need to use the kldload utility to load file.ko into the kernel using the kernel linker. You can find all loadable kernel drivers in in /boot/kernel or /boot/modules/ directory. Some modules (pf, ipfw, ipf, etc.) may be automatically loaded at boot time when the corresponding /etc/rc.conf statement is used. Modules may also be auto-loaded through their addition to loader.conf.
You must login as root user to load or unload modules.

# kldload {module-name}
# kldload {driver-name}
