Mm. There is that. Though it's easy enough to download the port & files
onto a thumb drive or floppy beforehand and pop the driver on after the
install.
It just adds a pre-step to updating the kernel (download & install the
latest port for the driver... do the build/installkernel, then go back
and de/reinstall the port--I'm sure there's a better way of doing it,
but that's what I've been doing.)
Best,
