I installed Solaris 11.1 on a X86 PC. It's working except for one glaring problem : I cannot get a driver attached to the RaLink RT2800 (Wi Fi Adapter). Can someone point me in the direction where " the correct" driver exists, or let me know how I can tell Solaris to attach the device to the existing rwn driver (which looks correct to me)?
Any help much appreciated.
The output below from several commands reflects the system recognizes the Wi Fi Adapter as a RT2800/2860 and has a driver for the RT2800, but that there is no driver attached.
First the simple commands with simple and obvious output:
