Thanks again for your kind help. > BCM4318 only works in 32bit kernel mode, in OpenSolaris build54+. You can download the 32bit WinXP driver for BCM4318 at Solaris/NDIS page. Please follow instructions on Solaris/NDIS page to make it work. Take it easy, this XP driver has already been wrapped successfully for many HP machines to support bcm4318/bcm4319/bcm4312/bcm4311 under 32bit solairs kernel, no "doesn't work" report by now.
btw, Is this HP dv6408nr laptop? Thanks, Michael > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > laptop-discuss mailing list > laptop-discuss at opensolaris.org >
