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. R.
