Loizos,
Good documentation? I would describe them as fair.
I am aware of only one set of FWSM documents which I'm sure you have seen.
Does anyone know of any additional documentation?

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/mod_icn/fwsm/fwsm_1_1/fwsm112/fwsm112.pdf
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/mod_icn/fwsm/fwsm_1_1/fwsm112/bascfg.pdf
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/mod_icn/fwsm/fwsm_1_1/fwsm112/advcfg.pdf

In FWSM 1.1(2) I was informed by TAC to ignore the *'firewall
multiple-vlan-interfaces' *command.*
*This will be used in a future release.
