yes, it's working.

Not sure what you mean.  I have a dlink micro wifi/fw/router, that works
well with the Atheros cards I have in my other Solaris boxes, using
infrastructure mode.

The existing card in the laptop works in WinXP

wificonfig

No.  the initial driver that I tested months ago with build 55 didn't work
so I downloaded a patch from the HP site and got that working.

ifconfig bcmndis0 plumb
wificonfig -i bcmndis0 setparam essid=myessid
wificonfig -i bcmndis0 setparam wepkeyindex=4
wificonfig -i bcmndis0 setparam encryption=wep
wificonfig -i bcmndis0 setwepkey 4

ifconfig bcmndis0 dhcp primary

Works with 0.1, doesn't work with 1.0

That help?
