3w-9xxx: proc interface
Rick,
There should be a beta version of 3dm2 & tw_cli that will work with the in-kernel 3w-9xxx driver on the 3ware website sometime this week.
I'd rather not re-add deprecated interfaces.

3dm2 (the currently available one anyway) needs
/proc/scsi/3w-9xxxto discover any controllers. The current in-kernel driver doesn't contain any/proc/scsisupport. The attached patch restores the interface.I'd rather wait for a new 3dm2 release instead of adding deprecated interfaces. Adam, any schedule for a new release?
Well, I'm not the only one who cannot monitor/control their array with the current in-kernel driver. I don't care if the proc interface makes it back into the kernel; the systems I assemble with a 9500 will have the proc interface restored until I have a 3dm2 in hand that doesn't need it.
Having a non-functioning 3dm2 is a major problem in my book. (technically, not have a firmware update interface in the kernel's driver is also a concern.)
Locking the door before you have a key to get back in is a bad idea.
