it's not just recompiling, the driver would have to be ported to solaris, and solaris and linux drivers are quite different furthermore, the licence if this particular driver explicitly forbides everyone to distribute modified copies of the driver without explicit permision from connexant i think your best bet is to actually mail connexant and ask them to do this themselves nacho
