- run prtconf -pv to show the pci identification details for the installed card.
- then, find vendor-id and device-id, example:
vendor-id: 00008086
device-id: 0000103b
- grep 82801DB /boot/solaris/devicedb/master
- add the identifier for your driver into /etc/driver_aliases.
- Load the driver with the modload command, example:modload /kernel/drv/iprb

modload(1M) System Administration Commands modload(1M)
NAME
modload - load a kernel module
SYNOPSIS
modload [-p] [-e exec_file] filename
DESCRIPTION
The modload command loads the loadable module filename into the running system.
filename is an object file produced by ld -r. If filename is an absolute pathname then the file specified by that absolute path is loaded.
If filename does not begin with a slash (/), then the path to load filename is relative to the current directory unless the -p option is
specified.
The kernel's modpath variable can be set using the /etc/system file. The default value of the kernel's modpath variable is set to the path
where the operating system was loaded. Typically this is /kernel /usr/kernel.
For example, the following command looks for ./drv/foo:
example# modload drv/foo
The following command looks for /kernel/drv/foo and then /usr/kernel/drv/foo:
example# modload -p drv/foo
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-e exec_file Specify the name of a shell script or executable image file that is executed after the module is successfully loaded. The
first argument passed is the module ID (in decimal). The other argument is module specific. The module specific information
is: the block and character major numbers for drivers, the system call number for system calls, or, for other module
types, the index into the appropriate kernel table. See modinfo(1M)
-p Use the kernel's internal modpath variable as the search path for the module.
