Hello Fabian,
1) Yes, extensions in /Library/Extensions are loaded automatically
2) Unless these extensions enhance the system as a whole, I would not
put them there but load them when your applications starts
3) To do that, you can either gain those priviledges at installation
time through the installer, or use the Authorization Services Framework

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
