Because we are working on 6.2-RELEASE, it's likely that these changes would never get into RELENG_6_1. So, there are three options: - Manually checkout RELENG_6_2's sys/dev/bce and replace yours, compile, install a new kernel. This way would bring your bce(4) driver up-to-date, while retaining other parts untouched. For Dell [12]950 boxes, I think mfi(4) changes are also useful. - Upgrade to RELENG_6_2. This brings a lot of stability enhancements. However, if this is a production server you may want to wait for the final RELEASE. - Use RELENG_6. This is potentially somewhat risky, but newly discovered bugs are fixed in RELENG_6 and the risk is less than running a raw -CURRENT.
