It will be in the FreeBSD version of the NetMAX, but not in the FreeBSD 3.2
version.  We're still using the ccd driver- we plan to convert to vinum
sometime after the next NetMAX/Linux release.

The next Linux 2.0.37/RedHat 5.2 version (coming out in a few weeks) will
have software RAID5.  The current Linux 2.0.37/RedHat 5.2 version does not
have this feature.
