[lug] [OT] Solaris device names

[John Starkey]

Thanks Gary. I had just put a tulip in there when I rec'd your message. The link below is actually to the dnet page, the parent page has
the compat list. But that's quite alright :}

I was wrong. The DFE530TX is a Via-Rhine, not a tulip, as I said previously.

I also did a sys-unconfig and added the tulip (/dev/dnet) card but it still wouldn't take. Hmmm. I don't know.

Thanks.
