Hi all,
I am very very new to solaris and have not used it on my laptop before. I
have worked with unix extensively and am good in linux.
I started with solaris and found that i have difficulty connecting to the
AP using WPA PSK
My laptop is IBM T41 with Atheros chipset. I installed
SUNWatheros
SUNWwlanu
SUNWsupu
and did
ifconfig ath0 plumb
and I got my ath0 interface visible. After this the first thing i tried
was to use
wificonfig -i ath0 scan
and wow ! the AP appears in the list
My tries are as follows:
1.
I tried using wificonfig
wificonfig createprofile home essid=bhasker proto=WPA psk=<pass>
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
and then
wificonfig -i ath0 connect home
this tries for a while and says failed to connect !
2. I tried googling and found an utility dladm
it seems there is a command dladm with sub-command connect-wifi
etc., but these are absent in my system. When i run
dladm create-secobj or connect-wifi it just shows me
a help text as-if the commands are not recognized
as below
usage: dladm create-aggr [-t] [-R <root-dir>] [-P <policy>]
[-l <mode>] [-T <time>]
[-u <address>] -d <dev> ... <key>
delete-aggr [-t] [-R <root-dir>] <key>
add-aggr [-t] [-R <root-dir>] -d <dev> ... <key>
remove-aggr [-t] [-R <root-dir>] -d <dev> ... <key>
modify-aggr [-t] [-R <root-dir>] [-P <policy>]
[-l <mode>] [-T <time>] [-u <address>] <key>
show-aggr [-L] [-s] [-i <interval>] [-p] [<key>]
show-dev [-s] [-i <interval>] [-p] [<dev>]
show-link [-s] [-i <interval>] [-p] [<name>]
set-linkprop [-t] -p <prop>=<value>[,...] <name>
reset-linkprop [-t] [-p <prop>,...] <name>
show-linkprop [-cP][-p <prop>,...] <name>
Can someone please point/help me with procedure on how to get this up ?
Please consider me as a very beginner in solaris so that the command you
may think 'trivial in solaris' may not be trivial for me.
thanks in advance.
