Hi, following the document on Solaris NDIS Wrapper Toolkit (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/ndis/), I'm trying to build the driver on my DELL 1501 (equipped with an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 and a mini WLAN Dual Band wireless DELL 1490) with Solaris 10 06/11, but without success.
WLAN DRIVERS I installed the last avalaible driver from the DELL site (R140747.EXE), but the only .INF and .SYS files found are the following: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Jan 3 19:19 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 512 Jan 3 19:18 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 640898 Jan 3 19:19 BCMWL5.INF -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 604928 Jan 3 19:19 BCMWL5.SYS -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 754688 Jan 3 19:19 BCMWL564.SYS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I used the iconv command to convert the UNICODE file (bcmwl5.inf.orig) to the ASCII file (bcmwl5.inf) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 320448 Jan 3 22:11 bcmwl5.inf -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 640898 Jan 3 19:24 bcmwl5.inf.orig -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 604928 Jan 3 19:25 bcmwl5.sys -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 754688 Jan 3 21:10 bcmwl564.sys ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I started to build the driver in the i386 directory, but the 'ndiscvt' step generated the error: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- d1501 (/opt2/download/wireless/ndis-0.1/i386) ./ndiscvt -i bcmwl5.inf -s bcmwl5.sys -o ndis.h $Windows NT$ d1501 (/opt2/download/wireless/ndis-0.1/i386) make ndis /usr/sfw/bin/gcc -g -O2 -D_KERNEL -D__i386__ -I../include -I. -c ../if_ndis.c -o ndis.o ld -r -o ndis ndis.o ./ndiscvt -i ndis.inf -s ndis.sys -o ndis.h ndiscvt: opening .SYS file 'ndis.sys' failed: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `ndis.h' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I tryed to solve the problem with two links: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- d1501 (/opt2/download/wireless/ndis-0.1/i386) ln -s ./bcmwl5.inf ./ndis.inf d1501 (/opt2/download/wireless/ndis-0.1/i386) ln -s ./bcmwl5.sys ./ndis.sys ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and all work's fine.

Does have someone an idea where is the problem or how to continue?
