yep. New drivers are never back-ported. See FAQ 5 for more info on the OpenBSD development process... Keep in mind: whatever your hesitation is about installing -current on your machine is pretty completely negated by the fact that 4.0 won't work. (though, admittedly, you can't beat the stability and security of a non-functioning system. :) Nick.
