Or you can file a bug and wait until Solaris 11 Express to push for a fix. It's
not like someone would fix your bugs right away with the way things were before Oracle. I still have bugs filed from years ago that haven't been fixed in ON. Like any other OS, if you want your bug fixed, it has to affect enough people or there has to be some support $$$ behind it. Speaking of other OS's, I've had just as many issues with Linux and BSD on new equipment. All it takes is a new chipset revision for things to not work. And even when there are fixes, they rarely work correctly the first or even the third time. Hell even with Windows, you're stuck in driver download hell when you build a PC with the latest stuff. And this is why Mac OS X does so well as a platform. Integrated OS and hardware, results in better user experience. Much as when Sun made workstations, everything would just work. If you don't control the hardware and the OS, you'll always have driver issues, which leads to disgruntle folks. Must be the reason why Apple is doing so well with their Macs;) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Octave J.

A quote from http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/08/13/opensolaris_is_dead/ If the pen drive isn't detected, then perhaps another OS will detect it. I had problems with OpenSolaris not detecting hardware, but that h/w is detected with other operating systems. Oracle has closed development, so if it doesn't see the pen drive, then I suppose your going to write a driver for the OP? If not, then (s)he just sits on an old version of OpenSolaris and not utilizing their h/w they obviously want to get to work? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
