Hi @all :-) The meaning of "Google is your best friend" seems to be true....
The iwk driver in the version 5.11.79-1 I could find today as a dep-package right here: http://archive.nexenta.org/elatte-testing/net/sunwiwk After downloading it a few hours later, the link was removed - no worries at all - I got it, just drop me a message via Yahoo AIM to: e605_germany However, it's indeed a tricky way, to get it running, please read my steps: System: Lenovo ThinkPad T61 with Sun Solaris Express 09/07 1.) mkdir iwk 2.) cd iwk 3.) Downloading sunwiwk_5.11.79-1_solaris-i386.deb to iwk/ 4.) unpack the dep-package with: ar -x sunwiwk_5.11.79-1_solaris-i386.deb 5.) tar -xzvf data.tar.gz 6.) tar -xzvf control.tar.gz 7.) copy the module: cp kernel/drv/amd64/iwk /kernel/drv/amd64 8.) make a reboot with: init 6 9.) add the driver: add_drv iwk 10.) the output of 'modinfo' responses as shown below: Output of modinfo: ------------------------------------------ 197 fffffffff8467000 35698 62 1 iwk (Intel(R) 4965AGN driver(N)) So you can assume, that the module was loaded correct and works for your platform. The devfsadm command fails, because it's unable to determine the correct hardware link from /devices. To get these information, we must run: 11.) /usr/X11/bin/scanpci Output of scanpci: ------------------------------------------ pci bus 0x0003 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x4230 Intel Corporation Device unknown 12.) I modified the driver with these values: update_drv -a -i '"pci8086,4230"' iwk 13.) after this, I run: devfsadm -i iwk and the dev-links in /devices and /dev where created. now you can plumb the device and use wificonfig. Please note: to get iwk0 configured with inetmenu, you just need to add a line with 'iwk' to: /etc/inetmenu/WIRELESS-INTERFACES so that the iwk0 device appears in the inetmenu device-list while configuring it. Last but not least: It seams, there's no WPA support inside this driver version. I was able to connect to a WPA-secured net using: dladm connect-wifi -e <MY_SSID> -k <MY_SECRET_WPA_KEY> iwk0 but the interfaces links down and up, down and up, while tryin' to assign an IP-Address via DHCP. Even to assign a static IP will fail to send packages. Seems we have to wait, until this driver comes back to OpenSolaris after they could sort out the legal issues. I hope this is of use of you.
