I have a Dell D830(4G mem) with native Intel 4965(8086,4229), my home AP is wep enabled, under snv_b97, haven't met the issue you described with nwam.

You can try below commands: 1. #svcadm disable physical:default 2. #svcadm enable nwam (with a popup, you can choose your AP, input wep key, if still fail to get dhcp IP, then do next ) 3. #svcadm restart nwam (when fail again, please post the /var/adm/messages file and output of "ifconfig -a") - Michael > > > ----Original Message----- > From: Fu, Zhonghui <zhonghui.fu at intel.com> > Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2008 11:07 PM > To: laptop-discuss at opensolaris.org > Subject: [laptop-discuss] Mercurial gate of Intel 4965 WiFi driver is > accessible to anonymous users now. > > > All, > At present, mercurial gate of Intel 4965 WiFi driver(iwkph1.5) is > opened to anonymous users.
