That was true maybe 10 years ago, Sun have to pay money to get drivers ported to Solaris at all these days, no vendor writes a Solaris driver willingly anymore, they don't get better hw specs or any more info.
If you've gotten a reverse engineered driver on Linux you most likely have no driver on Solaris.
Some fool also claimed as Solaris was a server OS it had more stable drivers, this is also a load of horseshit, Linux is a server OS, and most of the server hw drivers are rock solid and far better than Solaris equivs, and have full vendor support. Consumer hw support is where things suck, and Solaris consumer hw support sucks more than Linux.
