Bill: Our team is working hard to support Laptops, and we are especially interested in models that are missing device support. Are you willing to provide some info so we can look into the situation? - What precise model is the unit (including the bottom sticker part number? - Can it boot solaris to the point where you can run #/usr/X11/bin/scanpci -v and save that output to a USB stick, and email it here? Or, if not, can you boot knoppix or some other linux and do #lspci -vv and provide that? We'd like to understand what nic chip is in your model, and why our e1000g NIC driver is not working with it.
