Hi, I decided that I wanted to bring up opensolaris on a Dell 5160 with the MiniPCI 1450 a/b/g card (Broadcom chipset).
First problem... OpenSolaris install hung when configuring devices. I seem to have a lot of problems with Dell laptops and the OpenSolaris installer. But I digress... So I tried Solaris 10 6/06 which installed fine. I installed the wifi tools and ndiswrapper with my WinXp driver (R115321.EXE). I got these errors: Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf ndisapi: [ID 264013 kern.notice] === NDIS API 0.2 For Solaris 10(32-Bit) === Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf ndisapi: [ID 821588 kern.notice] no match for strrchr Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf ndisapi: [ID 821588 kern.notice] no match for MmFreeContiguousMemorySpecifyCache Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf ndisapi: [ID 821588 kern.notice] no match for MmAllocateContiguousMemorySpecifyCache Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf ndisapi: [ID 821588 kern.notice] no match for MmGetPhysicalAddress Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf bcmndis: [ID 110218 kern.notice] ndis_vid = 5348,ndis_did = 17188,ndis_subsys = 200744 Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf bcmndis: [ID 834833 kern.notice] t->ndis_vid = 5348,t->ndis_did = 17188,t->ndis_subsys = 0 Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf ndisapi: [ID 402529 kern.notice] PhysAddr=faffc000, Size=8192 Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf ndisapi: [ID 294963 kern.warning] WARNING: ntoskrnl Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf last message repeated 17 times Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf ndisapi: [ID 397878 kern.warning] WARNING: NDIS ERROR: c000138d (unknown error) Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf ndisapi: [ID 733859 kern.warning] WARNING: NDIS NUMERRORS: 1 Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf ndisapi: [ID 925830 kern.warning] WARNING: argptr: 114 Jul 10 10:34:51 dwarf bcmndis: [ID 549621 kern.notice] init handler failed Ok, I picked up an older driver for Win95 (R76521na.EXE) which seems to work somewhat. However, I now get an IRQ 18 shared warning in the syslog and the dns information is not retrieved from the dhcp request. The IP address is updated fine. I also noticed that the hostname.bcmndis0, dhcp.bcmndis0, and resolv.conf are not created. Two questions: 1) Anyone have a clue what's wrong with my installation? Am I using the right driver? 2) Anyone have success getting OpenSolaris up on a Dell 5160? I gave up trying to get it up on my Dell CPx, but Solaris 10 won't install on it either without lots of pci and irq warnings. Thanks, Gary This message posted from opensolaris.org
