Right no, the only 802.11n supported wireless Mini PCI Card is the Intel 5300 or 5100, which uses the iwh drive. Unfortunately there are connection problems and dropout problems associated with these cards, supposedly the problem is being worked on. Also the Intel 4965, 5100 and 5300 use three antennas. So for my laptop I stuck with trying to find Minipcis with three antennas, I don't know any other manufactures with 3 antennas.
Maybe not a solution, but some food for thought. Paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-help/attachments/20091225/8ea4992e/attachment-0001.html>
