Maybe I'm misunderstanding the original post here, but I've got a box
with a 3ware 9500S. The 3w_9xxx kernel module works flawlessly
supporting this card, and it was included with CentOS 4. One of the
reasons I chose CentOS 4 was due to its support for the card. I assume
it would work for all 3ware 9xxx series cards.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
