Re: [osol-discuss] I give up.
I too never got wpi0 to work stably but on a T61p in any mode, wep, wpa, or neither the two. It'll connect and work for a bit, then either it'll drop the connection over and over or the data rate will be all over the place down to a few bytes a second even when the laptop is a few feet away from the access point. In any case, it's unstable and unusable. I was never sure where to file bugs; so I just posted to bugs forum in hopes that someone from Sun would file the bug and get it fixed at some point. From the responses, it seems that other people have seen the same behavior. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and T61P
On a T61P with a 3945ABG wifi device (pci8086,4227) running snv_86, wpi0 comes up and even connects sometimes but it's very unstable. The connection generally hangs or comes in and out to the point of being useless. On my local access point using wpa or one that's public, more frequently than not I get the error message: dladm: cannot connect: operation timed out. Sometimes the same dladm command will connect. Similarly, using NWAM, it'll connect on boot but more often than not, I'll get error messages, something about not being able to set the power. Is wpi0 known to be flakey? Has anyone seen wpi0 working well? Thanks. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] How to boot to console, not starting xserver?
You can try booting to single-user mode, which is one of the options on the grub menu, fix the problem, i.e. modify xorg.conf--or turn off the graphical login, cde or gdm, whatever is on. Before the graphical login kicks in, you have to login to the console. You can also ssh to your box if it's on a network.

[osol-discuss] Re: Solaris as NetBSD?
I don't agree. I think that OpenSolaris/Solaris could be very competitive if Sun focuses on x86 (32 and 64 bits). If Sun could by hook or by crook support (as in drivers) a vast array of hardware out there, provide a centralized way of installing/upgrading software (make it as easy as possible) and patches, and persuade, again by hook or by crook, 3rd party vendors, e.g., Adobe's Acrobat Reader, to support Solaris x86. I think it may be an impossible set of tasks and very unlikely to happen but if, since we're talking hypothetically, they could accomplish the above, then Sun could easily compete with Linux and possibly become the 2nd most popular OS after Windows of course. But alas, the choice on the desktop is either Windows or Linux, the latter a distant second. However, Dell has recently started to offer boxes with Ubuntu installed. If it means anything at all, Linux is gaining more and more acceptance. p Mind you, it's certainly much better now with Solaris 10, then it was a few years ago--Sun was once going to shutdown Solaris x86--but as far as driver support goes, Solaris x86 pales in comparison with Linux and obviously Windows. p NetBSD doesn't seem to have much traction these days. Does anyone care about processors outside of AMD, Intel, Sun, and IBM's these days at least in servers and desktops? p I'd rather have stellar support for x86-class CPUs especially with multi-cores being the new black than a wide variety of CPUs.

[osol-discuss] Re: Re: Sun to make Solaris more Linux like
Yes, what you say is all true: we can take it up with vendors for driver support or purchase NVidia graphics cards. But the far more realistic alternative is just switch to Linux and not deal with it. From the point of view of a desktop, it's the best of all possible worlds: it's like Unix and one enjoys tons of software, open source or otherwise, your hardware will generally work, and there's a huge user base.

[osol-discuss] Re: Sun to make Solaris more Linux like
It's painfully obvious that OpenSolaris and Solaris on x86 platforms lack drivers of all sorts. It also lacks an easy way to install software reliably. If making OpenSolaris/Solaris more like Linux can resolve both these problems then I'm all for it. If the Linux-like statement is just a marketing ploy, then it's just a waste of time and it'll signal the death knell of Solaris. The latter is just Sun jumping the shark with Solaris. I've switched over to Ubuntu and everything just works. I have sound and native OpenGL (Radeon X800). The latter just required aptitude install fglrx. In the end, I'd rather be coding/playing with things that interest me. The OS to me is an means to end, e.g., writing code and playing with OpenGL say, than managing all the packages that I need to achieve that end.

I've found Blastwave generally disappointing especially when it comes to daemons such as MySQL, Apache, etc. For client software like editors, e.g.: emacs, it seems fine. Personally, I'd like to see Sun create a group to maintain debian-like packages and create a frontend and a backend similar to Ubuntu--or make Blastwave more like Ubuntu for software management.
