Hello Alan and Gilles,
urtw driver was released to OpenSolaris last week, I am responsible
engineer for this driver. Before upgrade your system to build105+,
please insert the adapter into your system and post output of:
#echo "::prtusb" |mdb -k
I can then help you idenfity your adapter.
Thanks,
Michael
