I installed OpenSolaris on my ThinkPad a couple of weeks ago, and I have never
been able to get it to work. The wpi0 and e1000g drivers just dont work. I have
posted on these forums and on usenet and received some suggestions. I have
tried every possible combination of wired and wireless internet. WPA, WEP and
no encryption. Let the cable modem reset to a new MAC address. Enable NWAM.
Disable NWAM. Endless restarting NWAM. Endless wificonfig connect commands.
NOTHING WORKS. I just have to conclude that OpenSolaris isn't ready for prime
time and wait for the next release. In contrast, I put SLED 10 on the same
ThinkPad and it works fine. Full connectivity. I really want to use Solaris and
I wish someone could convince me otherwise. Sun could do a better job
supporting people who want to use and enjoy their OS.
