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.
