That worked. Do you know why it didn't work, and if something happens like this again, good steps to "repair" it? The help was much appreciated. -Eric On Tue, May 27, 2008 at 2:41 AM, Fu, Zhonghui <zhonghui.fu at intel.com> wrote: you try this. #add_drv -i "pci1814,201" ral Zhonghui ________________________________ From: Eric Kelly [mailto:eric.k.125 at gmail.com] Sent: 2008?5?27? 8:38 To: Fu, Zhonghui Subject: Re: [laptop-discuss] Wireless worked before, doesn't work now Unfortunately, it wasn't listed in the file.

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.

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.
