I can vouch that -CURRENT runs on that board. I didn't do the install on it though, just slide the vb8001 into a working system while the original motherboard is being RMA'ed. I'm sure it's too late to get the fix into the 7.2 release, but it'd be nice to see it move into -STABLE as sono as it's legal. g.
