You would have to cvsup to get any additional updates beyond that. Was the driver applied to 4.9 after the release? or just to current? Just because a driver came in to being does not mean that it was applied to 4.9. You may need to go to 5.xxxxxx to get it. So, check that to make sure it got added to 4.9 before depending on it. 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 latest at the time you do the install and the ports you install via the ports system would be the latest for any given named version in the ports tree. ////jerry > Just wondering cause if that works that would be cool.
