I don't know about that specific WiFi adapter, but you're more likely to have support for Wifi with recent Solaris Nevada builds rather than Solaris 10. Unless you intend to buy support or need to something specific to Solaris 10, I'd recommend Solaris Express Developer Edition:

Your laptop should be sufficient to run either Solaris 10 or Open Solaris distributions such as Nevada, Nexenta, Belenix and Schillix but it would be happier with more memory. I'm currently installing SXDE on a Sony PCG-GRZ615G with only 256MB of RAM. The installer will go into text mode and I don't think anyone will be impressed with the performance of a low memory machine, but it is possible. As they say, your mileage may vary.

hello all.

the title says it all.  Im currently downloading Solaris 10 and...its my first 
time migrating to open-source OSes.

my current PC is a 2.4GHz Intel Celeron D (which is of the X86 architecture, 
isnt it?), 512MB od DDR RAM and 80GB harddisk space, and a Samsung CD-ROM drive.

My system 'should' be able to run Solaris 10, doesnt it?

and now, for the main problem.

for internet access, i currently am using a wireless network G-adaptor by 
linksys, the WUSB54G. I did some reading up and found that it is possible to 
use NDISwrapper to custom build Windows drivers into Solaris ones. however, i 
have no idea if the WUSG54G wireless G-adaptor drivers are supported by 
NDISwrapper (some say they are, some say they arent). And even of it is 
supported, just how do i re-make the Windows drivers for the G-adaptor into 
Solaris ones using NDISwrapper?
