Hi Krister,
I don't know about how OpenSolaris2008.05 is handling adding
drivers at install time, but it's entirely possible that the
driver is already there and just needs a device alias tweak.
Can you provide the full PCI vendor, device, subvendor and
subdevice id string for that device please?
You can find it by running
# prtconf -v
and looking for "pci8086" and then the "compatible" property.
As an example, this sort of info I'm looking for shows up
similarly to this mpt card on my system:
name='compatible' type=string items=13
value='pciex1000,58.1000.3150.4' +
'pciex1000,58.1000.3150' + 'pciex1000,58.4' + 'pciex1000,58' + 'pciexclass,01000
0' + 'pciexclass,0100' + 'pci1000,58.1000.3150.4' + 'pci1000,58.1000.3150' +
'pci1000,3150' + 'pci1000,58.4' + 'pci1000,58' + 'pciclass,010
000' + 'pciclass,0100'
thankyou,
