and another bit here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19963-01/pdf/821-1475.pdf

rwn Ralink RT2700/2800 IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n wireless network device
The rwn IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n wireless driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable,
GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting Ralink RT2700/RT2800 IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n
wireless network device.
The rwn driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate and mode. The driver
supports only BSS networks (also known as ap or infrastructure networks) and open
(open-system) or shared system authentication.
For wireless security, WEP encryption,WPA-PSK, andWPA2-PSK are currently supported.
You can perform configuration and administration tasks using the dladm(1M) and
wificonfig(1M) utilities.

An encouraging note here: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/...+on/2009032601

This guy seems to have his own code for ralink: http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/

This says you need to have 'large server': http://solarisrants.wordpress.com/20...s-11-packages/

Does wificonfig or dladm have any options ot nudge it down the road?

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
