Note:
latest release notes and for instructions on how to
upgrade your driver and firmware to the latest release.
1. 3ware ships compiled and tested drivers for Red Hat
and SuSE Linux. Please refer to our website for the
latest compiled drivers.
2. Both Red Hat and SuSE include 3ware drivers in their
distributions. These drivers are often older than
what is available on the 3ware website.
3. 3ware also releases drivers to open source at
www.kernel.org. These drivers are the most recent
version, however, these drivers are part of an
ongoing evolution of the source code and may not be
tested by 3ware for compatibility. If you are using a
Linux distribution for which there is not a compiled
driver available from 3ware, you can download the
source and compile a new driver.
