You know what... that's what I got too.

I read that and never say the other versions... doh!

One reason I assumed it was version 8 is because of the errors I got  
when installing the package.

They are identical to the errors you get for other Solaris 8 packages:  
attributes on a few system directories.

I guess the package has some minor errors or maybe Solaris 10 has had  
yet more changes since the driver was released.

Sorry for the noise.

As I said, I said NO to making those changes and it works fine.
