Re: cvsupdate only bge driver

2003-10-15 Thread Mike Tancsa
Unless you really know what you are doing (in that case you would not need 
to ask this question) it is HIGHLY recommended NOT to do this.  The bge 
driver in its latest form could depend on other parts of the kernel that 
would also need to be updated.  You really should cvsup everything, not parts.

Hi all,

I want to update only the bge driver to its latest source via cvsup and
then compile it into the kernel.
Can someone guide me about what steps I need to take ?

Thanks,

Re: cvsupdate only bge driver

2003-10-15 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I understand  what you are saying Mike,


But here is the issue:

I built a 5.1-RELEASE box and cvsuped it to -p10. After reboot I am getting
a flood of bge0 : gigabit link up messages. I am on version 1.41 of the
driver ... the latest cvs submission was 1.55. A newsgroup posting
suggested that I need the latest code to make this issue go away.

I do not want to go to -CURRENT because this will be a production box.

So what am I supposed to do ?

Help appreciated :),
-ansh

5.1R is not really meant for production.  You should have stuck with 
RELENG_4.  You could trying checking out all the source related to this 
driver via cvs, but I know especially in 5.x there have been a LOT of changes.
