It was 3:00 (morning) when I wrote that, cut me some slack... Of course I couldn't download the kernel, what I meant was download (via CVS) the sources for OPENBSD_3_8_BASE, compile and install the kernel. > You have everything but your versions straight. Clearly. Theo cleared that up already. By the way, I did a full make build from OPENBSD_3_8_BASE and wicontrol doesn't work. Certainly it could be due to user error, but I won't know for certain until I get my CD in the mail.
