Well few days back I had complained about lack of Solaris (Intel x86) hardware support. Finally some good news out. Open Solaris team released the new Wi-Fi drivers for Intel’s Centrino chips. All of the drivers and tools produced by the team will be pre-released to the OpenSolaris community and then integrated into Solaris. The following drivers and tools are currently available:
- wificonfig - Wireless Configuration Tool
- ath - Wireless Driver for the Atheros 52xx Chipset
- inetmenu - Network Configuration GUI Tool
- ipw - Wireless Driver for the Intel Pro/Wireless 2100 Chipset
- iwi - Wireless Driver for the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG Chipsets
- cardbus - New Cardbus Driver With Support For 32-bit PC Cards (coming soon)
- pcwl - Wireless Driver for Agere 11b and PrismII 11b Chipsets (coming soon)
This is really good development :) More information and driver available from Solaris Community Laptop resource page.
You should follow me on twitter here or grab rss feed to keep track of new changes.
