Christian, Thanks for coming back on this issue.
1) http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=6&PFid=6&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false . These are the drivers I downloaded. I simply extracted and installed the package, however the install script has to be modified with the Vendor ID and PCI ID of the card in question i.e. pci10ec,8136 which is the Vendor ID and PCI ID obtained from prtconf -D. This installs successfully, and you can plumb successfully as well but despite appearances you cannot even ping the router or anything else except the loopback address (127.0.0.1), the computer name, and the local IP address. When I checked the logs or when the computer starts you get this message saying "RTLS does not support this device pci10ec,8136" but the device still attaches successfully and you get rtls0 but you cannot use it. The defaultrouter is set correctly. 2) The laptop actually comes with both intel and atheros drivers for windows vista. I was just trying to see whether the Solaris wifi atheros drivers were generic enough to establish some kind of connection. Any suggestions for another driver or compile instructions for the free RTL8101 drivers would be very helpful. Regards Nice ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
