Hi @ all,

the iwk driver is still driving me crazy and I actually don't know why.

After having a fresh snv_101 installation for say 3 weeks everything is running 
fine.

suddenly the network link disappears and /var/adm/messages shows the output 
below:

Dec 27 22:13:17 julia mac: [ID 744254 kern.info] NOTICE: iwk0 link up

It seems that the driver is messing up with the kernel area and has found his 
turn on / turn off lever.

Could it be, that the latest iwk driver has an invisible hand implemented to 
finger trough the cpu fan out of the notebook chassis to reach the on/off 
switch for the wifi interface?

why should I define a broadcast, if the dhcp server makes the broadcast 
calculation itself by the given subnet mask?

By the way: can there anything foreseen, when the iwk driver is available for 
Solaris 10 generic 11/08?

Regards,

Dave.
