You can use the 'fw' driver that 3ware distributes. But, as I mentioned above, in this case it doesn't include the latest firmware, which is the one that actually fixes the multiple-unit bug. So you have to manually flash it from a DOS environment. If you can't shoehorn a floppy in temporarily, have a look at PXE. Or, just wait -- 3ware says on the website they'll be releasing an updated driver with the right firmware.
Cool, suppose I have the patience to wait, will the fw driver work on a running system that booted from the array with a stock CentOS kernel?
Yes. You just need to put the driver in the /lib/modules directory of the right kernel (in place of the old driver), and then make a new initrd for the kernel you're running.
