I looked over the info for Intel that covers iwh. What is posted is: "IWH driver is for Intel Shirley Peak WiFi chipset. At present, this driver only supports basic 802.11B/G mode" So I don't trust the download link to include 11N support. Also, the SUNWiwh package is dated "VERSION=11.11,REV=2008.12.23.17.41" which is way before the link that you posted. So how I see it, is if I purchase another minipci WIFI card, it should be using the Intel Shirley Peak WiFi chipset. I also noted that there are plans to upgrade the iwk driver to include 11N support in Phase 2. I currently have PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] card. But what bothers me is this message I get in /var/adm/messages: Oct 6 00:48:17 Solaris-1 iwk: [ID 925725 kern.warning] WARNING: fatal firmware error That and I can never connect at the college I go to Friday evenings. All Windows and MAC computers have no problem. Maybe I should get another PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] card. Hopefully the IWH will support WEP/WPA/WPA2 which the IWK only presently supports WEP, WPA-PSK. Paul
