I would be willing to stab at the driver if I could get my 3GX working
again. I'm lacking an OS on it and don't have a copy of Solaris 2.6...

I'm not convinced I follow you on that one really. I don't see what
Solaris 9 offers, apart from having a considerably larger footprint
(both disk and memory) and support for hardware that you probably can't
fit in the 3GX anyhow.

Um pretty much everything you didn't like about linux then :)
