SubjectRe: 3ware 6x00 monitor/control utilities broken/dropped since 2.6.10?
Dave,

I had to revert to 2.6.9-22 ES4 kernels to solve this, and I still 
needed to update the 3Ware driver in 2.6.9. There's a patch that 
includes the latest 3Ware drivers that appears to make this work at 
ftp.soleranetworks.com:/var/ftp/pub/solera/dsfs/. Look under the ES4 
directory for the kernel and patch.
