This may be a dumb suggestion (I don't use fxtv so I have no idea if this will work or not), but couldn't the driver be made into an LKM? Then the user could set an option to have it enabled, during the install process. As I say, maybe impossible, but it would solve the problems of kernel bloat and ease of installation at once.
