If you want to test out the experimental 3ware support in smartmontools, you 
can check out the CVS version or wait a few days for the 5.33 release (not 
sure when ports will be updated, however, as this is not a 'stable' release).

I have added support for 7xxx series 3ware controllers (/dev/twe*), and I'm 
currently working on supporting the 9xxx series 3ware controllers 
(/dev/twa*).
