I also can't locate Fibre Channel drivers for Emulex HBA I have in workstation. With Solaris "proper" it just worked all the time.
It likely isn't redistributable. Sun was unable to secure agreements for many vendors that allow free, unlimited, redistribution of certain components.
One of the key goals of the new OpenSolaris distribution was that anyone could redistribute it in any way.

So what happens to users of that hardware when OpenSolaris gets released as Solaris 11? Will users that followed the HCL, as Mr. Escue suggested, be left out in the cold or will binary drivers get bundled into Solaris 11?
