I've actually just updated the patch, at:
http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/3w-xxxx.txt
so that it will apply (without warnings/complaints) exactly to the
official 3ware distributed 1.02.00.036 driver.  The previous patch
worked fine (and had identical content) but complainted that the line
numbers were off by 15 lines.

I know that many people are using this patch and have heard no
complaints.

Cheers,
	Bruce
