[laptop-discuss] Wireless driver for sol x86?

[Jane Zhang]

Hi Chris,

Till now Solaris OS provides 5 wifi drivers. They are:

    *    ath: for atheros chipset
    *    iwi: for intel2200/2945 chipset
    *    ipw: for intel2100 chipset
    *    pcwl: for lucent/prism 11b chipset
    *    pcan: for cisco aironet chipset

And on Opensolaris 
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/, we also have: 

    * ndiswrapper which is used to run windows broadcom wifi driver
      under solaris
    * rtw: for realtek 11b chipset
    * ral: for ralink 11b/g chipset

In addition, we will post Intel 3945 chipset driver on opensolaris soon.
 
Thanks,
Jane
