Obtaining 3ware FreeBSD Drivers
3ware drivers can be compiled from source files into the kernel as built-in drivers or can be modules that are loaded by the operating system. Both source files and modules are available from 3ware, but modules with current controller drivers are only available for FreeBSD 6.3 and FreeBSD 7.0.
