Cecilia,
I've been running the most recent version (0.5) of iwi
on Nevada and version 0.3 on Solaris 10 Update 3.
I have Nevada on slice 3 of a 2nd hard disk in the
T43p. To upgrade, I boot the DVD on a USB/2
connected DVD writer (Plextor 716UF). When
given the option I choose upgrade and then the
Solaris 11 choice. That "upgrades" the version
on slice 3 - now at snv_61. With earlier upgrades
I just ran the upgrade and things already working
(wifi) just kept working. This time it didn't.
I'm now connected via a wire and the bge0 interface.
I use inetmenu to manage the connections. Before
sending this, I ran logadm to clean up messages.
Then I used inetmenu to deconfigure bge0. I then
tried to enable iwi0 with a defined and previously
working configuration (RSG-b). That failed so I
tried running wificonfig to scan which also failed.
I then brought bge0 back up so I could send this.
cut from a window:
