Yes, it is an issue with Elite3d. It can be mostly fixed by downloading
firmware to the card, but we have still no permission to package that
firmware in Linux.
If you have Solaris Elite3d packages, then you can check out afs module from
vger CVS (which is the firmware loader) and extract firmware from Solaris.
