It was a lot more convenient when it was a standalone module/tarball so you didn't have to surgically extract it from the tree and spend a week trying to get it to compile with whatever version you happened to be running. So if you're running 9.1 or 9.2 you could still use it seamlessly.  > > Negative Progress is inevitable.  The problem is that you are using an old version of FreeBSD that only provides security update... The correct solution is to update your machines... I'd much rather have Intel support it in tree, meaning that supported versions of FreeBSD have an up to date driver, than to cater to your wants of using older releases of FreeBSD...
