If i do, the same version (3.4)? > Yes, you will need to re-install the driver into your kernel sources, as cvsup overwrites your changes, following the same procedure you did 6 months ago (see /usr/hdlc/doc/bsdman.htm). The latest version available for RELENG_3 is for FreeBSD 3.4, so you should use the latest 3.4 release (3.16L). Make sure you keep a backup of your current kernel, just in case there is any incompatibilities between the driver and 3.5-STABLE. Let me try to update my 3.4-STABLE (April) system with 3.15p drivers to 3.5-STABLE and 3.16l drivers. The card is currently not being used for any connectivity.
