Hi, You may like to consider B86 (most up to date) instead of 85 as your easy option. The iwk driver was integrated then and should work out the box, see: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b86/on-changelog-b86.html
Please redownload SXCE to B86 ;) Regards, Edward. On 10/04/2008, Vikas Sharma <theunixadm at yahoo.com> wrote: > > Dear all, > > I am new to this forum but a very big fan of Solaris OS.
