+=== Kernel modules repositories
+
+The kernel module repositories allow users to install ready to use kernel
+modules like the ones used for graphic drivers and specific hardware.
+Starting with FreeBSD 14.3, the FreeBSD Project provides kernel modules built
+for every supported version. To create such a repository configuration if it
+does not exist, add the following to [.filename]#/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/kmods.conf#:
+[source,shell]
+....
+FreeBSD-kmods: {
+ url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/KMODSFLAVOR",
+ mirror_type: "srv",
+ signature_type: "fingerprints",
+ fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
+ enabled: yes
+}
+....
+
+`KMODSFLAVOR` respects the following pattern: `kmods_PORTBRANCH_MINORRELEASE`.
+
+For instance:
+
+.Kmodsflavor
