These drivers are compiled in the kernel. You should find them listed in dmesg(8) output. |

OpenBSD doesn't have a dynamic /dev filesystem, it is just a directory full of special device nodes generated but a script MAKEDEV(8) which itself runs mknod(8), this is how it was handled traditionally in Unix.. and personally I find it cleaner.
This requires some manual intervention if a device node does not exist, it's not overly difficult, and in most cases the installer will have generated a fair default. Network interfaces do not have device nodes, you have 'block' and 'character' devices for disks, serial/tty interfaces, and other special devices that need to be represented and accessible by userland. A framework exists called BPF(4), but I don't believe it's of any importance to you. |
