Dear all,
I downloaded the Solaris Express OS for my Acer Aspire 5920 laptop and installed on it yesterday. The release I installed is Solaris Express (10-March-2008 build).
Coming to problem area, I installed "iwk-1.0-pkg" package so that my wireless card can be detected. But after installation of this package and further reboot, I start getting error messages... no idea why. Here are the details of from various command regarding my laptop and the software.
Please suggest me where I did anything wrong. or any way to correct this situation. I did "wificonfig -i iwk0 scan" but it was not able to scan the networks... most likely because of firmware load problem as seen in /var/adm/messages file.
Thanks,
VS
