I got this: eric at opensolaris:~# add_drv ral devfsadm: driver failed to attach: ral Warning: Driver (ral) successfully added to system but failed to attach So, it seems like it's possibly a driver issue, although it's strange, because it worked before.

So, you need install this driver with add_drv command again.

The thing that you can add to the taskbar by right-clicking and pressing network on the popup. However, I could not get dladm to scan, show, connect, or disconnect from the wifi! It didn't come up with an error, it just did nothing and went to a new line for another command. By the way, the forum says I am not allowed to edit this message, when I tried to attach the /var/adm/messages file. So, I made a quick website, and uploaded it to there.
