Thanks Tomas,

I installed the latest 'stable' OpenSol pre your posting. I am not sure 
if going to Beta or SXCE would make any difference as I've done 2 things 
now:

1st - being checked the Sun HCL's before even attempting the install, 
and the Marvell Ethernet adapter was not there at all only as 3rd party

2nd - being checked the laptop wireless site which states: "At present, 
this driver only supports basic 802.11B/G mode."
--Does this mean no security also which is probably why I can't connect 
to anything?

I did however find this site: http://solaris-x86.org/software/drivers/ - 
which in turn led me here: http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDownload.do

The driver is for Sol 8,9,10 but I will try it with OpenSol and see what 
happens!!
