Hello Alan, Gilles, If your wireless device is RTL 8187L then you are in luck and can use the urtw driver.
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/urtw/ Note that for that driver you need snv105+ Now, if you happen to have RTL 8187B then you are out of luck :( and need to wait for someone to write the driver. Both 8187L and 8187B use USB2.0 Regards, Imran ----- Message from [email protected] --------- Date: Sat, 03 Jan 2009 11:22:03 +0100 From: Gilles Gravier <[email protected]> Reply-To: Gilles Gravier <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Doubt about Wireless Card in OpenSolaris 2008-11 To: Gilles Gravier <[email protected]> Cc: Alan Vargas <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, Indiana Discuss <[email protected]> > So actualy, maybe somebody on indiana-discuss can answer the "is the > driver available" part of this question? :) > > Cheers and happy new year, > Gilles. > > Gilles Gravier wrote: >> Hi, Alan! >> >> Do you notice that it also identified as a USB 2.0 adaptor on that OS >> (Windows?)?
