Thomas and all, Thank you very much.
Also, apologies for my first email to this list being short like that.. I was in a hurry this morning. I've been administering solaris for a bit over 20 years now ( main machine I administer right now is an M9000 running solaris 10.) Programming for, well ok I guess over 40 years now, but only 30 seriously and professionally. I played around with opensolaris when it first started but it was lacking support for a lot of common hardware back then and I never really got back to it. After I started reading about illumos and OI, I thought it would be good to try again. I think these projects have a lot of potential, and I'd love to see them succeed, so maybe I can help out in some small way. I figured as a first step, I'd install on a simple laptop and spend time trying to get the set of applications that I use every day working well. If something doesn't work, that would be the first place to start programming. As you saw.. I made a mistake and bought the wrong laptop for this endeavor. Starting with a driver for an NIC is not what I had in mind! So that's who I am. I'm going to read the link and order the USB wifi, and see if I can get started. Thanks! -Ned On Sat, Aug 27, 2011 at 1:02 PM, Tomas Bodzar <tomas.bod...@gmail.com>wrote: > On Sat, Aug 27, 2011 at 5:35 PM, Ned Lewis <n...@nedlewis.org> wrote: > > Darn, workaround 2 might have worked for me as well.
