    Dear managers,

    I googled some more and finally found the solution. Doing

            cd /opt/SUNWspci3/drivers/solaris/
            ln -s sunpcidrv.280 sunpcidrv.2100
            ln -s sunpcidrv.280.64 sunpcidrv.2100.64

    solves the problem.

    Thanks a lot!

    Regards,

       Andreas
