Hi everyone,

I've been wondering for quite some time...

Now that wireless networking is taking off in a big way, has anyone
developed device drivers to use PCI 802.11b cards from some of the main
manufacturers (D-Link, etc.) with Solaris?

Could Linux drivers be ported over to Solaris? Is there any wireless
networking support provided by Sun in current Solaris 9 releases?

I have a wireless access point (D-Link DWL-900+) to explore the technology
with and I'd like to experiment with PCI 802.11b cards in Sun machines
running Solaris. I'm planning to use a card like a D-Link DWL-520 as a
test-bed since it's well-known and widely supported in Linux and MS Windows
circles.

Regards,

Craig.
