Re: [osol-discuss] Intel Wireless 4965 support
That sounds like its expected NWAM (Network Auto Magic) behaviour. NWAM policy prefers wired links over wireless and configures wireless only if no wired is available. -Geeta -Original Message- From: Joerg Schilling [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008 4:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Krishna, Geetanjali Cc: opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [osol-discuss] Intel Wireless 4965 support Krishna, Geetanjali [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The driver should work correctly on snv_78+ builds.

Re: [osol-discuss] Intel Wireless 4965 support
Steve, Performance runs done by Brian Xu had showed much better results: 1. ftp get/put 2 GigaByte file with speed 3200KB/s or so 2. ttcp performance 6 sessions - 65000 data length - bi direction, we get rate 22-25Mb/s. Could you post more details of the configuration you are using so we can investigate further? Did you use version 1.0 or 1.1 of the driver? Most of the wireless discussions take place on the laptop-discuss mailing list so I am copying that list as well. Thanks, Geeta I've run it on snv_81. Seems to work (with WPA2 Personal), but it's deathly slow. I haven't been able to get more than 10kB/sec out of it. -steve -- stephen lau | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.whacked.net ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] Intel Wireless 4965 support
Hi Geeta, pkginfo -l SUNWiwk says VERSION: 11.11,REV=2008.03.17.17.33, this is on an Lenovo Thinkpad T61 running snv_81. I notice occasionally I get bursts of higher-speed, but most of the time it seems quite slow (around 10kB/sec). cheers, steve Krishna, Geetanjali wrote: Steve, Performance runs done by Brian Xu had showed much better results: 1. ftp get/put 2 GigaByte file with speed 3200KB/s or so 2. ttcp performance 6 sessions - 65000 data length - bi direction, we get rate 22-25Mb/s.

[osol-discuss] Intel Wireless 4965 support
Hi, the last discussion about the new Intel wlan chip was seen in October 2007. At that time there was an announcement that the sources will be out in a few weeks. What is the current state? I could not find a driver in build 85 which is what the latest SXCE is built on. Today, I was able to downlad the build 86 sources and see an iwk driver. Is this the first pubished driver and will it work on SXCE 85?
