Actually, it is quite painless. Instead of choosing "install"

filesets, then it will either copy whatever changes are needed to
/etc to a different location, or you can edit in place.
CVS is not required to upgrade to -current
which might be your interpretation of the table shown in
Section 5.3.2.
Many people simply install the snapshot & stop there. Downloading
source & manually building is not required.
Ah, I read through to 5.3.4, but only skimmed through the rest. From
that, I just assumed that upgrading from source was necessary, which
seemed like it might be a headache without being able to use CVS fetch
the source code.

As far as my hesitation, it is a fresh, I was just tired, and
completely overlooked the the install47.iso in the /snapshot
directory, and assumed that I would have to build my own install cd if
I wanted the snapshot. That didn't seem like a fun venture either.

Anyway, I installed the snapshot, but no dice. Same issues as before,
and I tried the same "troubleshooting" methods I did before. The only
difference I noticed was that the device now seems switch randomly
between 11b and 11g modes, and won't respond to me try to force it into one mode or another. I only examined this behaviour briefly, but
there didn't seem to be any pattern in this behaviour.

If it can be of any help, here is my dmesg:

In this instance, obviously, the device is up and configured with a static IP. Something that also might be of note, at this point the status of the device is 'active'. However, even after configuring the device, sometimes if would show a status of 'not connected'. I'm not sure if this was happening before, but again, there doesn't seem to be any logical pattern to this behaviour. I have tried connecting to the AP both when the status displayed as 'active', and as 'not connected', however this did not make any difference.

Finally, I tried a few different installs this time, both configuring and not configuring the network on setup, just for the hell of it. That didn't seem to make any difference either.

Anywhere we can go from here?
