Am I doing something wrong? How to debug? I'm a Solaris newb. Thanks. > Hi Devin,
The rwn driver is for Ralink RT2700/RT2800 PCI/PCie chipset. Your wifi should belong to RT2700/RT2800 USB chipset. Its dirver is under development, and a RFE has been already filed, http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6815800. ------ Thanks, Felix
