Thankyou so far... and thankyou to if_re.c maintainer(s)... the 
mainboard in question is indeed supported by FreeBSD' if_re.c in
at least -CURRENT (I've performed an initial install using the latest 
[2009-06] current snapshot ISO and I've later [2009-08-10... late 
evening] upgraded to 8.2 beta.

coretemp (4) seems to also work as intended as well as powerd without
any flaws... at a first glance.

Cheers,

frank
