If you only have one interface you can use the NWAM static configuration mentioned in nwamd(1). This works in builds prior to 135 (when NWAM Phase I integrated), for later builds, you can use nwamcfg or the graphical nwam-manager. Thanks for the good info.. well appreciated. You mention builds `prior to 135'. I was under the impression that 134 was the last build... since the big oracle affair kicked off. What other builds beyond 134 are available? and where? ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Build 134 was the last released build of the OpenSolaris distribution by Oracle, which is now Solaris 11 Express. Aside from no longer releasing OpenSolaris builds, the main change by Oracle was that development of the core OS/Net consolidation ceased to be public shortly after build 147. The illumos Project has forked the post-147 ON to create a community-maintained version of the core software. The OpenIndiana distribution, which is a direct upgrade path from OpenSolaris, is built on the post-147 source and expected to be based on illumos in the future. Oracle Solaris 11 Express is expected soon, which is likely to be a respin of build 151. -Alhert ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
