I have a D600 and have gotten everything going that I need but the 
wireless. I've not tested the sound yet but it makes promising pops on 
reboot so it's at least initialized the card....

Any rough timetable for the iwi being available external to Sun? I'm 
trying to decide if I should buy an atheros replacement or just be patient 
;-)

Also, will the iwi support all 3 of the Intel - 2100, 2200, 2195?

BTW, the bge driver will work with the onboard Broadcom NIC on the D600 if 
you play games with /etc/driver_aliases - see bug 6323464 that I opened 
about it for the details. The bge seems to work better on mine than 
the bcme (which had some weird stalling issues from time to time)....

later,
chris
