Devices Supported by Verified Third-Party Drivers

The following devices have been verified using third-party drivers. Contact the vendor for these drivers and for support for these devices.

Each device listed has been verified through testing at one of these levels:

Level 1

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

Level 2

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

Level 3/Bundled

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

  • When listed as Bundled, the product has already been bundled with 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 devices.
