Wireless in Solaris 10

Anyone have any wireless setups working in Solaris 10??
I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 w/ the wlan 1450 Dual band mini-pci.
I have yet to find a driver.

I'm having same problem with my Gateway laptop too. Solaris 10 can't seem to find my hardware even for any configuration at all.
I wonder if I need extra packages or patches. My wireless is standard 802.11g, and works fine in Windows, and recognized in Linux.
Appreciate any help!

  • CISCO 350 Wireless LAN Module on Solaris

    I am running Solaris 8 (6/00) for Intel platform with xFree86 version 4.0.3 on my laptop. My CISCO 350 PCMCIA Wireless LAN module work cannot be used nor detected in Solaris. Can anyone help me with that?

    Are you running any other Vm's on the host server?
    Are they working? Did you enable your BIOS to support VM?
    Then with regards to the install make sure you follow the guide as it can get tricky.
    I forgot to add Promiscuous personally. Make double check you Network Backing. I am not running a VM anymore - just recalling where I had issues.

  • Solaris 8/07 x86, wireless intel 2200bg networking

    Just finished a dvd-based install of solaris 8/07 x86 (not opensolaris) and everything good, except wireless networking.
    Before the install, I ran the suitability/compatibility tester and it vetted my wifi and everything else.
    ifconfig doesn't show my iwi interface. no /dev/iwi? either. And no wificonfig tool anywhere on the hard drive.
    Did I miss a step in the install?
    What do I need to do to be able to wifi on this supported wifi?
    I will eventually try the opensolaris, but I have 640MB and the opensolaris doesn't install unless it sees 768 MB.
    N.B: openBSD and BSD/nixes experienced ... but a little new to solaris so any and all pointers and details appreciated.
    Thanks,
    /Scott

    ifconfig doesn't show my iwi interface.Did you do:
    ifconfig -a plumb
    ifconfig -a
    This is the answer to a really FAQ:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    "ifconfig -a" on Solaris will only show "plumb"ed interfaces.
    Plumb your interface(s) first!
    If you don't know the name (or index#) use "ifconfig -a plumb" to plumb all (that wasn't already plumbed)!
    "plumb" is to power on, and load and initialize the driver for the relevant interface.

  • Solaris 10 x86 64-bit wireless connection problem

    I installed Solaris 10 x86 32-bit on my laptop together with Fedora 10 (Linux) and Windows XP.
    When I boot up Fedora 10 and WinXP, these two OS are able to find the wireless driver automatically, but Solaris 10 failed.
    When I do prtconf -pv, I saw my wireless card is listed in the output.
    So I update the /boot/solaris/devicedb/master and /etc/driver_aliases with my wireless card id - pci168c,001a
    Then do sys-unconfig and reboot
    But after reboot, Solaris still only tries to configure the ethernet card (NIC) rather than checking out the wireless connection.
    I think this might be a design flaw for Solaris 10. If it runs on x86, most users would have wireless connection, not just land line connection.
    Does anyone here have a solution for this problem?
    Thanks a lot!

    I assume that when solaris 10 boots up, it only checks the land line NIC card, not the wireless card. If there is no lan connection, then so be it.
    Is that right?No! :-)
    nwam only supports one device but the device is selectable. physical should activate all devices regardless. So if your Wifi isn't working then I would use wificonfig to see what it can see. Check the man page for scan and showstatus options. Then you'll know what it's seeing.

  • Driver for Intel Corp. Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG in Solaris 10 x86

    damn, intel and solaris have not realy work our on their support relationships. No wonder Sun went for AMD. :p

  • Wireless printer on Solaris 10 X86

    Hi All,
    I don't have any experience with printers in Solaris at all, so I'm not sure where to start.
    I would like to get my Brother MFC 640cw printer to be seen from my laptop. The printer is connected to my wireless router and has a static ip address. My laptop is a dual boot with Windows XP and Solaris 10 10/8. The printer works fine wirelessly from the Windows side. I'm not sure what I need to do to get it working on the Solaris side. The Brother support site does not have Solaris packages for this printer, but I do see that they have some for Mac OSX and some Linux distributions. Is there a way to get my laptop to print on the Solaris side?
    Thanks in advance,
    Bob

    Thanks for the reply Marco. I'm not sure what you mean by adding the printer manually. I tried using printmgr (which looks like it actually uses lpadmin in the background) and I keep getting an error message "lpadmin: Unknown option 's'!"
    When I select show command line console, this is the line that errors out.
    % /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p BRN_AFC819 -s malibu -v /dev/null -m netstandard -T PS -A write -o dest=192.168.5.4 -o protocol=bsd -o banner=always -I postscript -u allow:all
    lpadmin: Unknown option 's'!
    Not sure where to go from here.

  • How to run projects on Wireless Toolkit on Solaris 10?

    Hi,
    I've installed Solaris 10 on x86.
    After that I've installed Wireless toolkit and Netbeans Mobility pack.
    I was able to install both of them but, Now, when I try to run any J2ME application I get an error "Cannot find /lib/ld-linux.so.2" and something about preverifying.
    This might bebecause there isn't any perfect version of WTK available for Solaris 10 and I need to use wtk for liunx.
    I think since, solaris and WTK both are product of SUN they should provide solaris compatible version of WTK.
    Please let me know how can I solve this problem or suggest any other tool that can allow me to create and deploy J2ME applications on Solaris 10(x86)
    I need this to be solved pretty quickly since it is very urgent
    Thank you all
    Edited by: parag.rughani on Sep 28, 2007 5:37 PM

    there is no WTK 2.x for solaris, but it is possible to use WTK 2.x and Solaris. You can find how to that here:

  • Setting up a Wireless Internet Connection on Solaris 10

    I am new to the whole Solaris/unix world and I was just wondering how to set up a wireless internet connection with a solaris 10 machine. I have a linksys router hooked up to a cable modem and a linksys receiver hooked up via USB on the solaris machine. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

    Was the router supplied by the ISP or was it bought separately? Are you able to get online when connecting the Mac directly to the router via an ethernet cable? Either way it's best to check the router settings to ensure they are correct.
    I’ve not come across the Zoom routers. Setup should be straight forward though, having gone to their website and downloaded the manual. Do the following:
    1. Plug one end of the RJ-11 cable (included in the box) to the router, the other end to your phone line via the micro-filter.
    2. Plug one end of the ethernet cable (again included in the box) to the appropriate port in the router, the other end to your Mac.
    3. Plug in the power cord and switch on
    4. Fire up your web browser on your Mac (Safari, Camino, Firefox etc)
    5. In the address bar of the web browser type 10.0.0.2 and hit the Return button
    6. A Network Password box will appear. This is to gain access to the router itself. The defaults are, Username = admin, Password = zoomadsl
    7. You’ll now enter the Basic Setup screen. It’s here where you enter the username and password supplied by your ISP. This is NOT your email username/password but your Internet access ones. If you are not sure or don't have them, call your ISP.
    8. Click Save Changes and then click Write Settings to Flash and Reboot. Once the router has reset itself and the Link light comes on and remains steady, you’re online.
    That’s it. Job done
    If you still cannot get access it may be worth resetting the router (there should be a small button in the back which requires the use of a pen or pencil to press) re-entering your ISP information as described above and trying again.
    Let me know how you get on.

  • Usb wireless adapter for solaris 10 on sparc platform

    Hi,
    First and foremost, I hope that this stands in the right place.
    I need to configure my Sun Fire V240 to connect to my wireless network (wifi).
    Just wondering do we have the list of usb wifi adapter (and driver) that can work in Solaris 10 on Sparc platform?
    Or, can I have the list of Solaris supported PCI wifi adapter and driver? It would be great if instruction included.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi guys, I also had this situation and since I was not able to convert the package to a datastream, I downloaded it from http: //www. sunfreeware. com/mozilla .html
    They also provide some readme files that can be of help.
    Once you have the datastream package you can install using pkgadd utility.

  • Solaris 10 - wireless  card - configuration

    Hi guys:
    I am new to Solaris...
    How would I configure a wireless card for use on my laptop?
    Thanks

    When logging in, log in to command line, su to root, then run /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig and answer the questions about your hardware.This will make an xorg.conf file and save it to /etc/X11.Try using a mouse setting of auto, I had to do this as IMPS/2 just sent my mouse haywire.

  • Configure Solaris 10 with ath wireless card

    So I'm in over my head on this one. I got a new laptop to tinker with, put OpenSolaris on it - integrated Broadcom wireless card didn't work, but my old DLink wireless card did. Yay. But I didn't like OpenSolaris. Too linux-y. So I went to something more familiar: Solaris 10. Only now the wireless card (neither of them, actually) doesn't work. I've googled and tried stuff for the past several hours and all I get is this:
    "ath: unable to resolve dependency, module misc/net80211"
    I've installed the packages. I've installed the 80211 for amd64 (yes, I'm running on an amd64). I've tried downloading the tarballs, extracting them and manually copying the kernel modules. Nothing. I've tried everything I know of (which isn't much, admittedly). I've tried update_drv, used /usr/X11/bin/scanpci, prtconf -pv to check out what all is connected, and everything says that there is an Atheros ethernet device on pci168c ... but I always get an "unable to attach device" error. And when I reboot, I'm bombarded with the aforementioned unable to resolve dependency" harassment.
    What stupid thing am I doing wrong?!
    Thanks in advance for your help -

    make sure that there is no ath file in the kernel directory and the same for the net80211 file.
    touch /reconfigure
    re-add the driver from some as yet undetermined media.
    init 6
    should work.
    alanGot me closer, but it didn't work. I ended up going with Solaris Express Developer edition, and it worked out of the box. I really appreciate your help, though.
    Do you have any recommended reading for delving into the depths of Solaris? I know enough to get myself into trouble and that's about it. I picked up the "Unix System Administration Handbook" (by Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Scott Seebass and Trent Hein). I've learned a ton from there, which has really helped me get some of the basics, but it's not necessarily Solaris specific.
    Thanks again for your help!!!
