As far as I'm aware, yes (mostly). There's at least one FC driver in ON (ifp(7D)), the others seem to come from NWS, including those used for internal disks on some systems. That doesn't mean they're not inside the kernel, once loaded, obviously, just that their source is somewhere else. -- Rich _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
