I'm using 7.0 Release and my sources are those (taken from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/7.0-RELEASE/src/) Since I don't have NIC, I can't update my system to 7.0 stable. If the changes involved are only on those two files (sys/dev/re/if_re.c and sys/pci/if_rlreg.h) and no more -stable changes are required, could it be possible to get the diff generated against the -release sources? I already tried to apply the patch against my sources, but I get a bunch of errors. Otherwise I think I am a bit stuck unless you tell me how to update my system without a working network.
