Should drivers that do an add_drv or similar in postinstall be updating this file, in keeping with what other devices do? SUNWnge installed an nge driver for my Ultra20 desktop but nothing was added to device_policy - the postinstall in pkgdefs/SUNWnge confirms this to be the case. Smells like a bug to me... Darren
