Hello,

I have a notebook that included an apparently unsupported SIERRA wireless

the compatible devices. However, both windows and openiniana seem to
identify it as an ATHEROS AR9287. Is it possible to have an intel card with
an atheros chipset ? Or does it mean that the label oh the board is fake.
Any way, is this card usable with open indiana ? If yes with wich driver ?
and what should I do to install this driver. Thanks


The arn driver seems to support AR9285 which is supported by the same ath
driver as AR9287 in FreeBSD.
Nonetheless the corresponding PCI id is not listed in illumos, so it will
not attach.

Thanks Aurélien. is there a workaround this (without recompiling illumos)

Hi Marc

Atheros AR9k series cards are unfortunately not supported yet in
OpenIndiana/Illumos Atheros up until and including 8k is supported by
default and by freenicdrivers.

Atheros drivers are available in Freebsd and Linux but the driver has
not been ported/updated yet.

Also See: https://www.illumos.org/issues/8694

Greetings
