[laptop-discuss] NDIS Attach Issues

[Gary Chambers]

I, too, have problems with the NDIS wrapper.  I'm using Solaris 10 GA
06/06 U2, Dell Latitude D800, 2GB RAM.  I've successfully compiled and
installed the cardbus driver (the power light on my Realtek 8180
PCMCIA card now illuminates).  Here's the relevant contents of
/var/adm/messages (sorry about the wordwrapping) when trying to
install and use the driver:

I've tried without success to use the Realtek driver (rtw) apparently
because there are kernel variables that do not exist in my version of
Solaris.
