Solaris 8 (Intel Platform Edition) 7/01 Hardware Compatibility List

Certified Controllers Supported by Third-Party Drivers

The following controllers have been certified using third-party drivers. Contact the IHV for these drivers and for support for these controllers. You can also download these drivers from the IHV Drivers for Solaris (Intel Platform Edition) page.

Each controller listed has been certified through testing at one of these levels:

Level 1

The device has passed Sun's Level 1 certification test suite, which tests basic driver functionality for Solaris compatibility.

Level 2

The controller has passed Sun's Level 2 certification test suite. The tests are rigorous enough to qualify vendors to apply to license the Solaris Ready logo. Vendors whose products are used in everyday business environments often choose Level 2 certification.

Level 3/Included

The controller has passed Sun's Level 3 certification test suite. Vendors whose products are used in enterprise and server environments often choose Level 3 certification.

  • When listed as Included, the product is already included in a Solaris release.

  • When listed as Level 3, the product might be included in a forthcoming Solaris release.

Sun disclaims any and all liability resulting from the use of these controllers.
