The wpi driver depends on net80211 and GLDv3/WiFi, so even if you download the source, and rebuild, it still can't run for pre-snv_54. But the good news is we will provide a version of wpi on OpenSolaris around 5/15, it can run well on both S10 and pre-snv_54 versions, please stay tuned. Cheers, -- Quaker
