As you can see in the quoted part above, the firmware _is_ a current one, there's no newer firmware available as far as I can gather from 3ware's homepage. BTW, the support person at 3ware wrote these lines regarding my issue: "Use the in-kernel driver in 2.6.16. Don't compile the driver source from 9.3.0.4. If you want to get latest source, use the upstream source from kernel 2.6.14 or higher." (which is what I've already tried).
