modules

I'm trying to compile my own FreeBSD kernel for my HP Pavilion g4 (2012) laptop. I have tried everything, including recompiling the GENERIC kernel to see if there was anything wrong in my configuration file. It turns out that, after I booted with the Verbose option enabled, I got the error...

I want to tryout virt-manager with bhyve. But it doesn't recognize the if_tap module. {beastie} @ FreeBaSeD-T430 > /home/beastie → kldstat -v | grep if 398 if_lo 402 if_vlan 401 if_tap 400 if_tun 399 if_tuntap 397 if_gif 99...

Hello, I've some troubles with Bluetooth module ng_ubt on FreeBSD 10.3 . It is automatically loaded at boot, despite ng_ubt_load="NO" put in /boot/loader.conf. Even if I manually unload with kldunload ng_ubt it reloads itself back(?!), as shown by kldstat. This module turns on bluetooth device...

If, to keep my scripts simple, I load a module that I might not use, and I end up not using it until I reboot the machine later, what has the unnecessary module loading cost me? I'm thinking of the linux module, but I don't that that's relevant.
