Hi,
I actually never tried the Linux-Flashplugin under FreeBSD, although I
was thinking about it. I installed the native flashplugin from ports,
and that works. Well, it does not work with the very-latest flash
solutions, but it does not hang the system either. So it simply does not
display the latest flash pages, but it works with the older ones.

As I have never tried the Linux-Flashplugin, I cannot give any
experienced answer for the v6 vs v7 question, but I think that the
linuxpluginwrapper and the linux-flashplugin ports may not be
synchronized in the ports, or at least not in the ports collection you
have on your system. CVSupping in a couple of days time usually solves
these problems, although there were times when I had to wait weeks or
months, until I received a certain port that worked.
