+******************************************************************************
+* Driver loading information *
+* *
+* This package includes a device driver in a kernel module. While it is *
+* installed in $PREFIX/share/mwave, this results in the initial device *
+* probe not seeing the device and possibly reporting errors for the sio *
+* device which may be ignored. *
+* *
+* It may also result in the serial device being probed at a 8250 instead of *
+* a 16550A as the probe may occur before he device is fully initialized. If *
+* this happens you must re-boot to get the modem to work. *
+* *
+* You can eliminate this problem by copying $PREFIX/share/mwave/mwavedd.ko *
+* into /modules. Then add the line 'mwavedd_load="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf.*
+* This will load the driver at the start of the bootstrap and it will probe *
+* in a normal manner. *
