I've just installed a PCI USB card into my FreeBSD server and it appears
it's not going to work. It also seems (?) to only be a USB 1.0 card
(d'oh!). I've just rebuilt the kernel and added USB support.
Any cloobats?

The source upgrade is not the problem, it's when on those rare times
that system configuration file statements are added or changed that
requiring mergemaster to run. There is no way around that condition
when that happens. The 5.1 to 5.2 case is special just because 5.x
