Hmm... it should have picked up on the pci1260,3873 compatible name,
without needing to add another alias for it.
Try doing "devfsadm -i pcwl"
I seem to recall that there is "magic" in the ACPI code which Solaris
lacks, which may mean that we cannot easily enable this device.
I certainly recall that there was difficulty in getting a Solaris x86
port of my SPARC driver (for other Tadpole hardware) working on that
platform.
