Thanks, that helped. I take it that you just have to know this somehow? Is there a list somewhere that shows the mapping between FreeBSD, driver, and firmware versions?

The 3ware page has 9.2.1.1, which is what I updated to when I installed my 9500, but since then I've cvsup'd to 5-stable. Do I now have mismatched driver-firmware versions? How do I check this in the future? (besides bothering you about it)

And since we're here...is there any reason to update to 9.3 if I only have a 9500S?

Thanks
