I don't know what you are talking about. The driver is already there--it's even in the source-code form. The issue is Sun's engineers never wanted to be bothered with it. Unlike many other more important issues, the situation here has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with ASUS. Gartner had a report which said that white boxes outsold namebrands sixty to forty. Not only that, if there is any chance for someone to try Solaris, it will most likely be on one of those tens of millions or so of whiteboxes sold every year. The LAN chipset at issue here is the same LAN chipset that comes embedded with those millions and millions of whiteboxes. (The same LAN chipset is also on my HP laptops.) Go ahead and ignore them. The only thing I can say is, I am glad this not my problem.
