I'll be analysing the Linux driver change this week, and will make any corresponding modifications as soon as I do. Until then, read the details of the problem as reported by 3ware and avoid the situations they describe as being problematic.

But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
