Well, as I understand in general one should match the fw with the =
driver.

So FreeBSD 9 uses v14 LSI driver, so one would flash v14 fw on the =
cards.

In FreeBSD 10 it looks as if its v16, so one would flash v16 fw.

In my tests in a 9 env, I can confirm that the systems runs better with =
v14 all around.

Thoughts?
