Seth -- I just installed RHEL 4 AS, and the 3w-9xxx is included.  But
I'm suspicious.  I have _really crappy performance on my raid array
now.  I don't have any numbers with me now, but for example, it takes
about 20-25 minutes to format a 260G partition.  Read write is
horrible too.  I haven't had time to troubleshoot yet (or contact RH,
since this box has support).  So the driver is there, but tweaking may
be necessary.
