The issue it try to solve it the lack of solaris driver.
Lack of driver support has long been a disadvantage of solaris, and nic
driver is very critical.
In fact, there are more than 50 available NIC drivers for Solaris and
most NICs have been supported. The issue with NIC drivers is *not* about
anything else, but how to integrate those 3rd party drivers into
Solaris. Indeed, LongRiver project is there and the goal is to list all
NIC/WiFi drivers and integrate them into Solaris. Network Driver Team
(NIC and WiFi) is driving the project and you may get more information
from them directly.
You're suggested to get more information from Device Driver Community
web page.
I would like to create a way to increase nic hardware
coverage and therefore improve the adoption of solaris.
As explained, the way to increase NIC driver coverage is straightly to
integrate those available drivers, but not to duplicate efforts.
Running in use mode will affect the performance. However,
user mode driver focuses on function instead of extreme performance. Its
main purpose is to enable developers and users to access network.
Technically, you may talk to WiFi team to know about the progress of
porting NDIS wrapper to Solaris. I don't think we need to do anything
new by the same way we've done.
Thanks,
Roamer
