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 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. > > > > 3) 3ware's new SATA RAID controller (9500) 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 > > 04. myk by Marvell (88E8056 -- gigabit NIC) > 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. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
