Well, if the drivers are there they should be installed, otherwise the network connection is misconfigured, or the drivers do not exist. Before installation, did you check whether the drivers are available or not? I'm not sure all wireless drivers for Atheros are available. I have a Packard Bell laptop using an Atheros wireless adapter which does not have a Solaris driver. For your ethernet you could try by restarting the 'nwam': # svcadm restart nwam
If it's still not working post the output of 'ifconfig -a' and 'netstat -n -r' This message posted from opensolaris.org
