The product is a lot less finished than we'd like, and among the thins that need doing are adding more drivers, and more importantly adding an update mechanism which can work without a network. Your best bet at the moment is to obtain a compiled SVR4 package for the driver, put it on a USB stick or CD, and pkgadd it. Dave
