Robert,

That is normally how things work but this project was specifically
done as an unbundled piece of software that was only targeted
for S10.  We do know that there are differences in nv and
that the brand modules would need extra development to allow
them to work in nv.

That is interesting... usually I thought new code goes first to nv and
then is backported to S10...

No, this is only supported on S10u4 and later S10 releases.  The brand
modules have not been ported to nv or opensolaris.
