Nope - although I haven't tried messing with it. On boot I get messages from audiohd0 "unsupported HD codec: vid=0x10ec0662, rev=0x00100101" and "audiohd_attach() couldn't create codec" - doing an audioplay of /usr/demo/SOUND/sounds/cowbell.au fails as we're unable to stat /dev/audio. > Do you think that there is any chance getting the 100M NIC working? No idea. The Attansic L2 driver is supported in Linux, and I read that it may be derived from some Intel drivers, so perhaps there's hope ? http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/openbsd-misc/2007/11/13/410822 http://packages.debian.org/testing/net/atl2-source (I haven't looked at this source) > I have an Eee and I'd like to use Solaris but I mostly use the Eee for > downloading and listening to podcasts so audio and network speed are > important to me. At this stage, just getting any networking would be a leap forward for me, but I agree that sound would be nice too. On the plus side, X works beautifully! I'll try to get my hands on a more recent Solaris Express distribution and see if that manages things any better - nv_75 is pretty old at this stage. cheers, tim -- Tim Foster, Sun Microsystems Inc, Solaris Engineering Ops http://blogs.sun.com/timf
