Your supfile will get 3.5-STABLE.

Yes, you will need to re-install the driver into your kernel sources, as
cvsup overwrites your changes,  following the same procedure you did 6
months ago (see /usr/hdlc/doc/bsdman.htm).  The latest version available for
RELENG_3 is for FreeBSD 3.4, so you should use the latest 3.4 release
(3.16L).

Make sure you keep a backup of your current kernel, just in case there is
any incompatibilities between the driver and 3.5-STABLE.

Let me try to update my 3.4-STABLE (April) system with 3.15p drivers to
3.5-STABLE and 3.16l drivers.  The card is currently not being used for any
connectivity.
