Yes. By default all the modules are always compiled and installed (in /boot/kernel/*.ko). > because on my 6.0-BETA 2 ath module doesn't exists :? > so in theory which module's do I need to load Modules for network cards are called if_$cardname(.ko). So to load ath(4) support you'd issue 'kldload if_ath'. The linker loads whatever other modules are required for function of the module which aren't compiled in or already loaded (so ath would load wlan, ath_rate and ath_hal).
