platform.
how do i install the ed4 driver? i think is the correct driver
because on FreeBSD 4.9 my PCMCIA Ethernet card was properly detected

OK, I've cross-posted this message to -hackers, to see if we can get
some sort of definitive [to me] answer. Please forgive if it's considered
bad form.

I made cvsup (src-all), with no problems, then: cd /usr/src and:
make buildworld
It runs for a while (about 10 -15 minutes) and stops (see message bellow)
I already tried cvsup three more times but always with the same result.
Any upgrading hints?
