Yes, I know this. You still have not however answered
my question about where do I find a binary package or
a source tarball for the si3124 driver. Maybe this is
an edge case but I would not rule out a dist-upgrade
for a driver especially one that comes with open
solaris and is not third-party.
It depends on the hardware. Since I don't personally have the si3142,
I would search for it. Chances are that if the driver isn't included,
it either isn't supported by Solaris directly yet, and the driver is
available "somewhere" on the web.
I've been running it for quite a while, and it's in OpenSolaris.
In this particular case, it looks like the SUNWsi3124 package contains
the driver you want. However, that driver is not yet part of older
versions of solaris (as far as I can tell) and apparently depends on
the new SATA framework that Solaris Express builds feature.
I haven't updated my machine with the controller in it for a while, but
the driver is there, AFAIK, it was when I installed the machine quite a
while ago...I think the machine is running a build in the 40s somewhere.
