Hi Stephen, Unfortunately, you'll need a new driver for 3945. Daniel Bergamini (who wrote original iwi/ipw drivers for *BSD) wrote to me privately that he was going to try to port his new wpi driver to OpenSolaris soon. I'm hoping that Damien will tell us when he got something that he could share with our community :-) Our WiFi team is going to help Damien with his first port to OpenSolaris.
Off-topic: How many people here are interested in having WPA/IEEE802.1X support? I'm getting ready to release our prototype in a few days. The point is that this code is probably not going to make into Solaris as we're planning to significantly change the way Wi-Fi gets configured (see Peter Memishian's proposal for dladm(1M) enhancements, etc), but this prototype is available and can be used _now_. The ath(7D) driver is the only driver that supports WPA now, but more drivers (ipw/iwi in particular) should get WPA support in the near future. - Andrei On 5/22/06, Stephen Wells <swells at acrtek.com> wrote: > Hey, has anyone been able to get the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG working?
