Do drivers for Solaris need to be uniquely named?

Yes. The driver name, aliases, name-to-major entries, and so on, must be guaranteed to be unique in the Solaris distribution, for all ISAs (SPARC and IA). This is necessary to avoid namespace collisions on servers supporting (SPARC and/or IA) clients as an exported service.
