Looking for a wireless driver for Solaris 10(x86)
Hello, I just installed Solaris 10 on an good old Thinkpad r52 laptop, everything seems to work fine, except for a wireless network interface which needs a third party driver. Back in days this driver was freely available from opensolaris.org now it's gone. The name of the package is SUNWiwi, version required - 0.3 or older. Archive.org has iwi-0.4, which is too new(driver fails to attach), also a source code is available, although there are no instructions how to build:
[here was supposed to be a link to Archive.org page, but I'm not allowed to post links yet]
Also I'm looking for a precompiled distributions of Mplayer, Totem or anything capable playing at least Xvids.

I know that Sun make s a version of Solaris for Sparc platforms and also an x86 (Intel/AMD) release of Solaris. Can an application that runs on Solaris/Sparc also run on a PC running the x86 release of Solaris? Would a different release be required or any re-compling of the application?

would anyone know where to get a Linux ( Red Hat ) driver for a SafeCom ( i.e. Texas Instruments ) 11g WLAN card SWLPT 54108 ?
It's quite an old card that only seems to come with windows drivers on its install disk.

qassociate
qassociate(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers qassociate(9F)
NAME
qassociate - associate STREAMS queue with driver instance
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stream.h>
#include <sys/stropts.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
int qassociate(queue_t *q, int instance);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI). This entry point is required for drivers which export cb_ops(9S) entry points.
PARAMETERS
queue_t *q
Pointer to a queue(9S) structure. Either the read or write queue can be used.
int instance
Driver instance number or -1.
DESCRIPTION
The qassociate() function associates the specified STREAMS queue with the specified instance of the bottom driver in the queue. Upon suc-
cessful return, the stream is associated with the instance with any prior association dissolved.
A DLPI style-2 driver calls qassociate() while processing the DL_ATTACH_REQ message. The driver is also expected to call this interface
while performing stream associations through other means, such as ndd(1M) ioctl commands.
If instance is -1, the stream is left unassociated with any hardware instance.
If the interface returns failure, the stream is not associated with the specified instance. Any prior association is left untouched.
The interface typically fails because of failure to locate and attach the device instance. The interface never fails if the specified
instance is -1.
CONTEXT
qassociate() can be called from the stream's put(9E) entry point.
RETURN VALUES
0
Success.
-1
Failure.
EXAMPLES
A Style-2 network driver's DL_ATTACH_REQ code would specify:
if (qassociate(q, instance) != 0)
goto fail;
The association prevents Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) from detaching the instance.
A Style-2 network driver's DL_DETACH code would specify:
(void) qassociate(q, -1);
This dissolves the queue's association with any device instance.
A Style-2 network driver's open(9E) code must call:
qassociate(q, -1);
This informs the framework that this driver has been modified to be DDI-compliant.
