3Ware/twe Update

Update to all interested in twe/3Ware drivers:

1. We have run through six different contacts at eWare and finally found a new manager chap there that is 'doing the business plan for a commitment to BSD'. If anyone would like to provide some **NICE** prodding, contact me off-list for the info.

Now for a little GOOD news for those of us with 3Ware cards:

2) While neither the 6000 nor 7000 series will rebuild with the twe driver, booting a Knoppix CD and giving the controller a little time ***DID*** rebuild the array with a new drive! Took about 20 minutes for a 100GB RAID 5 array (YMMV).
