I have the same 3ware controller running on FreeBSD 5.2/5.2.1 and it
works very well.

I use the default drivers (twe) during the installation of FreeBSD.

Concerning the admin tools, I installed the port
/usr/ports/sysutils/3dm which provides an alert daemon and a web
interface to check hardward.
In addition, I downloaded the command line tool from 3ware website :
the cli program, version 7.7.1 for FreeBSD 4.8 Beta. (it works on
FreeBSD 5.2.x serie and should work on 5.3.x).

I hope that it will help you,
Fred
