Hi Rafael, Congratulations on your move to OpenSolaris :-). I don't know specifically about your Dell, but the Device Detection Tool <http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/device_detect.jsp> will give you an indicator of the success you'll have. You can also boot the Live CD and run the Device Driver Utility (the icon's on the desktop).
