Load kernel extensions

Hey guys,
I have the following problem: I want to load some kernel extensions when my application finished launching. Those extensions are bundled with the application. To load kernel extensions I have to be root and therefore the user has to be authorized each time he wants to load the extensions. This seems to be ugly and I am looking for a better alternative. What about moving my kernel extensions to the user's / Library/Extensions/? Are those kexts loaded automatically?
How to explain the user why he has to authorize himself? Is there any builtin functionality to display a description upon authorization?


Thanks for your help!

Fabian
