Driver Update 3 Guide for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition)

New Device Functionality

Device Drivers

This table lists device drivers in Driver Update 3 that contain new and updated functionality added since the last Solaris 2.6 Intel Platform Edition Driver Update. A new or updated Section 7D man page for each of the drivers that added new device support is installed in the appropriate man page directory during installation.

Note -

Each driver is assigned a version number. Note that a driver produced by a third-party driver developer is assigned the version number used by that third-party developer and may therefore differ from those Sun Microsystems uses.
