Operating Systems Solaris Porting a Linux Driver to Solaris Post 302329921 by reborg on Monday 29th of June 2009 04:56:42 PM

The first thing I would do is check if you can find a BSD driver, it will be much closer to Solaris that Linux. It's usually a lot of work to port drivers from Linux to Solaris and you need to know the driver systems and how to program them for both to make it work.
