Yes, you can. I'd suggest you first backup your configuration (using
Backup/Restore in the webGUI), then upgrade the firmware via the webGUI
(rename the .img to .tar.gz). The configuration will be automatically
converted (read http://m0n0.ch/wall/#upgrading). In case something goes
wrong, you can always go back to pb8 and try again with the saved
configuration.

HTH,
