No 3ware (LSI) 9650 Raid controller support in ESXi 5.1?

I was - perhaps naively - expecting 3ware 9650 Raid controller support in ESXi 5.1. Or at least a mechanism to install some kind of driver.

It seems neither is available.

Can anyone prove me wrong?

Never mind.

I found and installed the driver, and it now recognises the array.
