This seems to be a surprisingly common problem.  I'm new to the OpenSolaris OS, 
but I'm determined to get it set up as a development machine.

I cannot connect to the internet.

The link to supported wireless adapters seems quite cryptic and the format is 
very confusing.

I boot my Sun Utlra 20 M2 workstation from the OpenSolaris Live CD with a 
Rosewill RNX-G1 IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless USB Adaptor.

The device manager shows it as  a Realtek Semiconductor Corp RTL8187 Wireless 
adapter with driver "usb_mid".

But the network interface is not recognized by NWAM.

As per another forum suggestion, I tried switching to root with su - and 
running svcadm restart nwam, but still no success.

Is this as simple as it being an unsupported chipset?
