Is is possible to cvsup only a device driver. I have tried copying the source of the driver and then rebuilding the kernel, but it allways seems to invoke dependencies that are assumed to be updated over the base 4.3 FreeBSD as well. The latest try I get
if_an.c IFM_IEE80211 undeclared and related messages
How can I update the AN Driver !! The suggestion by Kevin Oberman:
1. Did not specify where to get the updated AN drivers (I got the latest from the source online in the /src/sys/dev/an MAIN branch)
2. When I tried cd /usr/sys I got directory not found.

Short form:
1. Figure out which files you will be editing and make copies of the
originals in /sys/dev/an/. (I usually append '.orig' to the file name.
2. cd /sys/dev/an and update/edit the files you want to change. (The
an driver is made up of 5 different source files.)
3. cd /usr/sys
4. make kernel KERNCONF=your_kernel_config_name
5. Reboot new kernel. If you are using the loadable module you can
try unloading the module and re-loading it, but this MAY crash
your system as some kernel modules don't unload cleanly.
(kldunload/kldload)
That's it.
