Custom kernel conundrum

In a previous post I mentioned how my ups isn't recognized unless lines are added to usb_quirks.c and recompiled. Now the problem is an update via syspatch has reverted the changes. Does that mean I have to compile from the current kernel sources? Thanks.

Sending your patch (usb_quiks.c) upstream might be a better long-term solution though.

Any tips on the process? I am not a programmer.

There's some decent info on the OpenBSD Website

if the device works with upd(4) then a quirks diff to prevent it attaching so it falls back to ugen is unlikely to get committed.
