Apologies for top-posting.

I've made some progress with this, but as I suspected, I'm screwed on
"namespace collision".  I.e. I am unable to load a version of twa.ko that
supports my 3ware card because a previous version of twa.ko that does not
support it is already in the generic kernel.  Changing the name of the
loadable doesn't help, either.

It looks like I might have to make my own release, and my own ISO, using
the driver source from the 3ware site.

Does anyone have an easier way of doing this?

Might some of the following information from 3ware be of help?

http://www.3ware.com/KB/article.aspx?id=15003

This details exactly what I need to do.  However, the drivers that SHOULD
be attached to the article are NOT.

No, they were not. The people at 3ware seem to have noticed that mistake
however and now the attachments seem to actually be attached to that
article.

Yes,

I also need to state for the record that their support people are incredibly knowledgeable and responsive.

I'm up and running now (thought I wasn't for a bit because the card takes a few MINUTES to probe during boot).

What is the likelyness (read that as: who would I have to ask) of getting the driver source added to 6.2-R, or to CURRENT? While this has been an overall good experience for me, it would be decidedly nice if I could have just booted from the CD and run with it.
