Forgive me, if this is the wrong place for this, but I'm very (!) new
to opensolaris.
I've purchased a new Dell Zino HD 400 to run OpenSolaris on. My goal
is to share 2x 1.5TB usb drives using nfs, smb/cifs and afp. The
built-in Broadcom Corp NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe doesn't
have a driver. Nor does the Broadcom Corp BCM4312 80211b/g WIFI .
I've even added a Belkin F5D5050 100Mbps Ethernet (USB to LAN), but
that doesn't automatically configure either!
There's no native USB2Ethernet driver on Solaris/OpenSolaris. You can
try a USB wifi adapter or find a supported nic from the open source
driver, http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/.
BTW, if somebody has interest to develop a new usb2ethernet driver, the
usbecm(7D) driver can be a start
point(http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/io/usb/clients/usbecm/usbecm.c).
I left some interfaces to accommodate vendor specific configuration/data
formats in that driver. Start from the usbecm driver, it's easy to
develop a vendor specific driver.
Thanks,

Please help me get the network working on this system. I'm used to
commercial Solaris, but haven't had this problem there.
Thank you for patience with a novice.
