From my corner of the release engineering team, it's quite possible that 5.0-DP1 will go out tomorrow (it's also possible that it could slip another day or two). In any case, this *may* not be the best solution for you. I don't recommend running -CURRENT or 5.0-DP1 unless you're willing to tolerate a little instability in your system and you're prepared to work with the rest of the users on the freebsd-current@ mailing list to help troubleshoot problems. These aren't production-ready by any means (if you look at 5.0-DP1's errata file, you'll see that it has known areas of brokenness). If there's some hardware-related problem you're having, why don't you post a detailed description to freebsd-stable@? If there's some reasonably well-contained fix from -CURRENT, maybe it can be MFC-ed. (Maybe you already did this and I just missed it.) Good luck, Bruce.
