For FreeBSD repo, you can take a look at https://cgit.freebsd.org/

Also, for the Ethernet driver, depends on which hardware are you using

Some newer devices won't have support yet. Maybe you can try with the CURRENT version of FreeBSD, which is 14.0 as of now

Hello.
I have FreeBSD 13-STABLE.
I want to install other version, for example 13-RELEASE.
I do not want to lose my data, what should I do?
(I will use the installer)

change the repos ?

Using the bsd installer and selecting the shell method in the partition step can be useful? I have little knowledge on this case scenario, maybe someone can give us a hint

if your home partition is apart of others, then just simply mount your home partition and re-partition the root.

Nope.

I want to format root(/) partition, but not /usr for example.

I think i would do an update & upgrade to stable, then change repos to release. in case it dies i would back up to cloud or somewhere.

How about copying the system manually?

I've read somewhere about it, copying the src on /tmp/ and mounting the partitions temporarily, then copying them manually over the disk path or so (I have to find the link to that, I'm afk now)

If you're curious enough, just fire up a virtual machine and give it a try.

Use the pciconf(8) command and /var/run/dmesg.boot file to know your device is detected or not.
