Greetings All,

As a short test to play around a bit, I just tried to boot up the latest SmartOS on my AMD 64-bit HP Pavilion A7-1461 PC that I have been running Ubuntu 16.04 and although it does boot up reasonably well, but I found that it does not recognize my network cards "Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet" and "Broadcom Limited BCM43228 802.11 a/b/g/n" wireless.

The SmarOS Hardware Requirements pointed me over to http://illumos.org/hcl/

and sure enough, the Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 Gigabit Ethernet is supported, but not the Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet. The Broadcom Limited BCM43228 is not even on the list and I guess that is due to it being wireless.

Also looked at Freenic : http://freenicdrivers.la.coocan.jp/ but no luck either.

Had the same problems when booting up OpenIndiana Hipster recently as well.

Stick an Intel NIC in the box and all will be well.
