A new driver wouldn't be added to 4.9-RELEASE -- only security bugfixes go into the RELEASE branches. However it would go into 4-STABLE, and consequently will be in the up and coming 4.10-RELEASE. If the OP cvsup's the latest sources from the RELENG_4 branch and does a normal {build,install} world cycle he should get what he wants. Of there are some release candidate snapshots of 4.10 available as .iso's if you're allergic to compilers. =20 > But, I think, and I could easily be wrong, that the ports tree that > you pull in during the install (via ftp) would be whatever is the=20 > latest at the time you do the install and the ports you install via=20 > the ports system would be the latest for any given named version in=20 > the ports tree. Yes -- you get a snapshot of the ports tree created at the same time (just about) as the release .isos were cut. However that is just a point in time in the continuous development of the ports. Use cvsup(1) to get the very latest stuff.
