      I've search for "install drivers", "load drivers", and even "drivers"… but nothing...

      Can someone help me and explain how to install drivers on pfsense...?

      I'm running 1.2-RC4

      Thanks!

        What kind of 'drivers' do you want to install and what for?

            If you want a standard FreeBSD driver that is not included in pfSense check out the FreeBSD man page. It usually involves copying a .ko file to /boot/kernel and adding a line to your loader.conf to load the driver. If it's a third party FreeBSD driver, then use their documentation.
            The reason you're not finding much is that it's a good idea to use supported hardware, trying to hack in unsupported/NDIS drivers takes a lot of work and generally ends poorly.

                You're really talking mystically.

                What did you get working (mf'rer, type) and how did you do it.
                THAT knowledge could help others.
