Sorry I'm jumping into this thread so late. I have done some experimenting with modules myself. I helped turn a few devices into loadable modules, and I use a few on my system. I use loader.conf to load sound, and when I do my system backups to ZIP I use kldload to load the driver. However, I have problems when unloading these as well.
IIRC, unloading snd will cause a panic, but I never do that anyway. Unloading the ZIP driver doesn't kill anything, but reloading it makes the SCSI/CAM system act funny, and it allocates the device with an incrementally higher node number. I tried getting the driver to disconnect from CAM properly, but this seems elusive at best. I guess I thought I was the only one that put most of my drivers into modules and load them at boot time, rather than compiling them into the kernel. Apparently, I'm not alone.
