I browsed svnweb.freebsd.org for rsu and re in stable/10 and head, also for cups in ports.

I found an update, 4 hours old, for rsu in head, so that pushed me to update the head src tree.

That was after a time when the wireless adapter didn't connect at all, didn't see the network.

FreeBSD is flaky at times with USB, not recognizing a good USB stick in a good USB port.

After some time web-browsing with Midori 0.5.5 on System Rescue CD, which itself is fickle and flaky, not as good as Midori 0.5.8 from FreeBSD ports, Hiro H50191 USB wireless adapter came back and is still working, though I still intend to do the system build/update for 11-head, both amd64 and i386.
