No -

The 8xxx series is what I meant - he said support for that on FreeBSD 5.x
with AMD64 support (I believe he was including it in that statement) was
due out later this summer at the earliest.

I was told quote "if you want 64-bit support you need to buy the 9500S
card. We will be having a driver and utilities out for it within 2-3 weeks
it's in testing right now."

It turned out to be more like a month, but it did come out. I believe the
binaries "run" but obviously without the driver properly compiled, it
can't find a card to attach to.

If modules could be compiled under AMD64, I might have a chance at making
it work. However, trying to compile it into the kernel fails.

I will followup this email with the actual mail I sent them at 3ware.
