For 3945 driver, I promise it will soon be posted on opensolaris(after 
legal review is done).  Now  we have a prototype(32bit only, no WPA :-[ 
) for internal use.

Pls be more patient.

Thanks,
Brian

I know the people doing the work are busy enough, but some kind of "x kind of works, but y is hard because of z" type post would be cool. In fact, I saw something like that on here the other day, related to the 3945 driver, and it was greatly appreciated. WPA update anyone? ;-)
