Hi community,
Today I installed FreeBSD 9.1 successfully on a MacBook Pro 5.1 (from 2009). Installation itself was easy, no errors or problems.
But in the post installation phase I encountered a problem with asmc. I tried to load asmc into the kernel, but that did not work:
The asmc manpage states, that
Since I am relatively new to FreeBSD and didn't come in contact with kernelmodules in Linux until now, so I'm not sure what this means to me.
Am I simply to missing something? Can I configure something somehow? Is there a way to use another or newer version of asmc? Or is it just simply not working (bad luck) if it does not work right after installation?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Sascha

I don't know when this was written (has a lot of references to FreeBSD 8.x), but today (with FreeBSD 9.1) I would not count my MacBook as one of the latest models. Also the wiki article sounded like someone got it working.Support for the latest models was never tested and is most likely not fully working.
