:) I would have known that if Firefox wasn't barfing on PDF's right now, or if I had bothered to boot my laptop (OSX).

The "Release Details" section has a note that reads "Linux and FreeBSD drivers are bundled with firmware 2.08.00.003". What does that mean? Do the drivers in 5-stable have a copy of the firmware embedded in them? Is the driver going to try and downgrade my firmware?

Good to know.

Thanks for the quick reply. FWIW I went with 3ware because I saw somewhere that a 3ware person was supposedly on this list. Glad to see it wasn't a rumor.
