So just use it and not that posted on opensolaris instead. Second, before run 'autoconf', you should predefine a profile by 'createprofile' and place that profile in the preference list by 'setprefer'. Alternatively, after you define a profile and successfully connect to the WIFI network with that profile by 'connect' , then that profile will be recorded in the preference list automatically. Regarding the ioctl err, it is the first time I see such message, a little strange to me. I need more look at it. -Brian > > >This message posted from opensolaris.org >_______________________________________________ >laptop-discuss mailing list >laptop-discuss at opensolaris.org > >
