I've been meaning to get to compile on SPARC/Nevada but haven't had the time (just moved).
the most current source of the driver is at http://svn9.cvsdude.com/kdesolaris/zyd/trunk and supports both zd1211 and zd1211b chipsets, and the al2230, rfmd and al7230b radios. A list of some supported devices is at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/zyd/ (there are approximately 70 different vendors who use Zydas chipsets in their USB 2.0 Wifi devices). The driver currently supports WEP, and WPA support is working (though I've seen a panic I've not been able to track down yet) for both my ZyXEL G-220 and Gigafast WF748-CUI (zd1211b device) adapter. You'll need a copy of the opensolaris source tree to compile the driver, and I end up putting it in /export/src/onnv-gate and then symlinking it to /usr/src/onnv-gate (since that's the default location for the open solaris source in the Makefile) hg clone ssh://anon at hg.opensolaris.org/hg/onnv/onnv-gate Ben
