Problem compiling Broadcom 440x drivers for open Solaris

[Bryan O'Neal]

Sounds simple, except I don't have a bfe or bfe.config. Infact, I was
actually unaware I needed a bfe.confg and was just trying to compile the
source into, I believe, bfe.  Which I seem unable to do

Does the driver load with the add_drv.sh script bundled with the
source?    The installation process is usually really simple,
something like (assuming it's called bfe) "cp bfe
/usr/kernel/drv/amd64 ; cp bfe.conf /usr/kernel/drv ; update_drv bfe".
