Connecting Solaris to Airport network
Hi,
I've been trying to find out for the past two days how to set my Solaris 10 to join wireless network (Airport base station with ACL and wep or wpa on).
Using ethernet is a bit out of question as I don't have an ethernet cable that would reach the other side of the house.
Solaris 10 installed fine in Fusion, so Mac OS X runs fine, and Solaris in Fusion runs fine too - just that I need to get it to network to run some updates in it... any clue how to add the wireless network connection details in it?
