Any idea at which point the 2.5 driver stopped working ?
It may not be that much work to bring that version up to date as
a 3ware-old.c driver in a worse-case scenario.
This would be huge code duplication however, and would be much
better fixed by having the driver detect which card its running
on, and 'do the right thing' wrt which firmware it needs.
