Hi,
I had the same worries about moving to 7.x from 6.x.
However, I found I just compiled the port and all works as well as it
did with 6.x. I still have the odd time the card is not able to
record after a week or two of use, but I saw the same things with
RELENG_6. unloading/reloading the klds fixes it and I just do that
at 5am via cron since I dont record anything then. Its a fairly old
card, so it could be a hardware / chipset bug.
