Driver Select 9550SX series (not 9000 series) and download 9.3.0 version for FreeBSD. It contains newer driver source and binary, which seems to work pretty well with 9000 series controllers as well. 2. Firmware Select 9000 series and download 9.2.1.1 version, which also seems to improve stability. This driver is directly supported by 3ware. http://www.3ware.com/support/support.asp Jung-uk Kim
