Hi,
         We are just in the process of evaluating the new 9650se 
cards, and RELENG_6 does not actually recognize them.

none1_at_pci2:0:0: class=0x010400 card=0x100413c1 chip=0x100413c1 
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = '3ware Inc.'
     class      = mass storage
     subclass   = RAID
     cap 01[40] = powerspec 2  supports D0 D1 D2 D3  current D0
     cap 05[50] = MSI supports 32 messages, 64 bit
     cap 10[70] = PCI-Express 1 legacy endpoint

Are there still plans to integrate support for the newer generation 
of cards into the FreeBSD src tree ?  Using the driver off the 
website, it seems to work OK but doing installs this way is bit of a pain
