The em(4) driver in -CURRENT tends to be *very* up-to-date. At the moment it
is up to version 6.5.3 (which is actually newer than the 6.4.1 driver that
you can download from Intel for FreeBSD 6.x)

The driver in 6-STABLE lags a bit behind (as one would expect). It is
currently at version 6.2.9 (which is also fairly new.)
I don't know if there are any plans for upgrading this before FreeBSD 6.3.

No idea about this one.  I don't think there is support for it in either
-CURRENT or 6-STABLE at the moment and I don't know if anybody is working on
it at the moment.

The latest twa(4) driver from 3ware is already in both -CURRENT and 6-STABLE
so it will appear in FreeBSD 6.3 as well as in 7.0

The msk(4) driver should support that chip.  This driver is also available
in both -CURRENT and 6-STABLE and thus will appear in both FreeBSD 6.3 and
7.0.
