I got a DWL-G520 PCI 802.11g card after coming across the laptop community, only to realize later that the package is for x86/x86-64. I would like to build the kernel module myself and downloaded the source, but don't know how to compile it. There isn't a Makefile, or any install instructions. I believe that is so because it is only a part of the ON source. I have Sun Studio and installed SUNWonbld. Can someone please point me to info as to how i can build the module without having to build the entire ON.

You can't do that right now.  I've been working on this, but there are
"issues", mostly the lack of a HAL that is compatible with Solaris on
UltraSPARC.  We need Sam Leffler to do a custom build for us.  I am
trying to get my company to fund the work, but it costs $3200, and right
now we're in a "no-spend" mandate.  Hopefully once the purse strings
ease up, we'll get this corrected.
