Hi Emery - Yes, you do need to upgrade the SUNWcry/SUNWcryr packages everytime you upgrade your system. These are available in the closed-bin tar bundle, associated with each build. I'm not sure, specifically, how this affects WPA driver, but I do know that changes in the core crypto components often require all the modules to be updated as well for other tasks. This is documented here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/crypto/Documentation/sunwcry/ This will soon be changing, as I am wrapping up a project to pull strong crypto into the base OS. hope that helps, Valerie -- Valerie Fenwick, http://blogs.sun.com/bubbva Solaris Security Technologies, Developer, Sun Microsystems, Inc. 17 Network Circle, Menlo Park, CA, 94025. 650-786-0461
