I started with a FreeBSD 9.0 DVD, but there where issues with
partitioning (it simply didn't work), that's why I chose PC-BSD 8.2. IOW
installing FreeBSD on my machine isn't that simple.

Simply building a new kernel would be to much hassle? On Linux building
a kernel is very easy, just a little bit time consuming, it takes around
90 minutes for the compiler, but I could use the computer without issues
during compiling, to do other work (but I don't do it, when compiling
such). OTOH isn't it possible just to build the driver for the current
kernel?

What are the drawbacks of upgrading everything? Is there some wicked
transition?

Regards,
Ralf
