Support for the controller was made in r195675 and the change was
already MFCed to stable/8 and stable7. Try recent CURRENT or
8/stable and 7/stable. I guess you can download the following files
from latest stable/7 via web interface and rebuilding both re(4)
and rl(4) on your 7.2-RELEASE should make your controller
recognized.
