    I'm trying to get APM to work (ACPI makes the kernel crap itself when I
    insert or remove a pcmcia card into my Armada m700 notebook) and load
    the apm.ko from loader.conf. However, it doesn't seem to create the
    necessary device entry /dev/apm, and apmd and apm(8) complain about
    that. What's the proper way to enable apm on 5.3-STABLE? Or, any way
    to enable it at all? Do I have to compile the driver into the kernel
    instead?

    mkb.
