Many wifi USB devices are not supported by illumos. You should verify it's USB vendor and device id with prtconf. It may also be that smartos is simply lacking the driver. I think Joyent may have stripped the wifi drivers from smartos but I'm not sure.
I'd actually suggest trying homerun networking if Ethernet isn't an option. I've had good luck with that in my home although it's lower bandwidth. It still is more than I get upstream though to the Internet. Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 20, 2015, at 12:33 AM, Nedo Sab <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yes, I mean wifi USB adapter.
