Assuming this is the first 3ware controller in your machine (and 
/dev/sda is a different SCSI/SATA or similar controller), try:

smartctl -a -d 3ware,0 /dev/twe0

If you still have problems, you'll probably need a newer version of 
smartmontools - obviously under Knoppix this isn't easy, but you can 
install packages under a system booted from CD. Something from 
http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/s/smartmontools/ should 
install and work fine, but Guido on this list (smartmontools debian 
maintainer) could probably be of more help recommending a suitable package.

You may also want /dev/twa0 for the 9500 or 9550 series controllers.
