Thanks so much for the information..... I really appreciate that!

I guess it's part of the reason why I always panic with OpenBSD as it's so involved and if one doesn't follow the system regularly, one can easily get lost.

Having glossed through:

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html

it looks like I am on "stable"??

And according the guide I can upgrade to "current" using:

Code:
Following -current
In this case, we will assume we are using a public AnonCVS server, anoncvs@anoncvs.example.org:/cvs. We will also assume you are using sh(1) as your command shell, if you are using a different shell, you will have to adjust some of these commands.
To checkout a -current CVS src tree, you can use the following:

    # cd /usr
    # export CVSROOT=anoncvs@anoncvs.example.org:/cvs
    # cvs -d$CVSROOT checkout -P src
Once you have a tree, you can update it at a later time:

    # cd /usr/src
    # export CVSROOT=anoncvs@anoncvs.example.org:/cvs
    # cvs -d$CVSROOT up -Pd
the only issue am worried about with 'current' is how stable is it?

At the beginning of Section 5. it talks about bug fixes and patches applied to 'stable' and 'release' branches.

Basically is 'current' ready to be run in production? - or should I just continue running 5.4 and send my dmesg to the email given in the FAQ and hope that in the later releases the driver or fix gets implemented?
