Hi folks, We've just released a new version of the popular Atheros wireless driver (ath) at:
https://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/ath This version is based on the latest HAL from Atheros and it should support all existing wireless Atheros chipsets. There have been no other features added to it, so if version 0.1 works for you, there's really no reason to upgrade unless you like being on the bleeding edge. If you do decide to upgrade you should now a few things... Version 0.2 requires new wificonfig utility that can be downloaded from the same web page. This is the same version of wificonfig that is included in Nevada build 29. If you try to use ath-0.1 with old wificonfig, you won't be able to connect to any wireless networks since the interface between them has changed a bit. Version 0.2 is *newer* than the one included in Nevada build 29, and while it was tested internally it is still considered experimental, so use it on your own risk. When this version gets tested enough, we'll be putting it back in Solaris, but there's no date set for that yet. If you have a chipset that was not supported by the previous version, we'd really like to hear if version 0.2 works now. Happy WiFi-ing :-) - Andrei
