Albert, Thanks for the suggestions.
However the bge driver doesn't want to configure properly with the wired ethernet. And the ndiswrapper doesn't seem to work properly in 64-bit mode, which I need to support my 1.5TB usb drives. So I went looking for mini-pci-e cards that were natively supported. Found one using the Intel chipset, but upon taking the dell zino apart I find that I needed a half-size card, and the one I purchased was a full size. Rats! Any way, I went thru the driver compatibility list again, looking for natively supported chipsets, and found a half-size Atheros AR9385 from hong kong. So I'll be waiting some more before I can get my zino on the network. --Lyndon On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 4:59 AM, Albert Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, 20 May 2010 16:41:31 +0800, Lei Chen <[email protected]> wrote: > > Lyndon Van Wagner wrote: Forgive me, if this is the wrong place for > > this, but I'm very (!) new to opensolaris. > > I've purchased a new Dell Zino HD 400 to run OpenSolaris on.
