I did some trivial digging into the ips source but didn't see any specific comments or macros defining a desired firmware level, but 5.11 firmware works fine for me, whereas I know a few people have seemed to have problems, possibly due to firmware and drive incompatibility (I currently work at IBM and can say definitively 5.11 and 6.X firmware and drivers do not want to play together...)
