Everything you need to experiment with 2.4 is there, but the toolset and compiler are too old for 2.6 In general, you should not need to have the Sun firmware in your drivers, just upload them to the card and array from Solaris and they will stay there in nvram. This avoids contaminating Linux with Sun's code. The procedure for socal is similar to my procedure for soc, take a look at the Solaris man pages for luxadm etc.
