OK.

Problem is that for Solaris x86 releases from at least 2.6 .. 10 (ie in the
last ~10 years), prtconf -pv was the preferred command to find out about
all of the pci devices installed in a Solaris system.  In current snv releases,
prtconf -pv still works, but might display incomplete information!  

And while "prtconf -v" (without -p) now includes all pci devices, the
output format from snv_19 prtconf -v is quite different from prtconf -pv.
So, in some cases prtconf -v might not be an easy replacement for
prtconf -pv, e.g. my prtpci script ( http://www.tools.de/solaris/ )
