That module is present, and I have tried loading it several times,
both kld_list and kldload. From kldload I get this error message:

	iic0: <12C generic I/O> on iicbus0

The system totally locks up. The only way I have found to recover is to
manually shut the PC down, aka 'off-switch'.

I am seriously about ready to call it quits on this project. I have
already invested way more time than its worth.
