Has been tried and the driver does not work in that way. It makes changes to /boot/solaris/devicedb/master which is used once during ACPI device enumeration at boot. I am guessing it is related to this. The master file entries should be present at boot. Regards, Moinak. -- ================================ http://www.belenix.org/ http://moinakg.wordpress.com/
