Hi there,
Appreciate all the efforts in getting wifi plumbed in across all the interfaces.
I'm having a problem trying to get my laptop onto wifi - wonder whether anyone
has any ideas?
I have a dell 1710 laptop with Intel 2 Core Duo (T7200) which as far as Im
aware has a 4965AGN wifi chipset. I followed the instructions to install the
SUNWiwk driver but it failed. I ran "prtconf" but there are no
pciex8086,4229/4230 entries. Does anyone know whether I should be using this
driver or any other driver or whether this area of wifi functionality is still
pending?
Any help would be apreciated. Output as follows: -
(I am running on OpenSolaris b75)
