I AM running Solaris 9.0 on old machine (for college UNIX class I'm taking). I have a DLINK DWL-120 USB wireless adapter. IS There anyway I can connect this to my existing home network?
I can't seem to locate any drivers for this adapter? Is there something basic I am overlooking? (1 Reply)
Mandriva is not recognizing my wireless PCI card. I have the Windows driver but do not know how to use NDIS to load it, anyone done this before? (1 Reply)
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?

hi,
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.
thanks,

pcan - Cisco Aironet 802.11b wireless NIC driver
DESCRIPTION
The pcan wireless NIC driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver. It supports the pccard and PCI/MiniPCI
cards with the Cisco Aironet 802.11b chipset. For pccard, the driver works in both SPARC and x86 (32-bit/64-bit) modes. For PCI/MiniPCI
card, the driver works in 32-bit x86 mode only.
DRIVER CONFIGURATION
The pcan driver supports 802.11b data rates of 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 (Mbits/sec). The default is 11.
The pcan driver supports BSS networks (also known as "ap" or "infrastructure" networks) and IBSS networks (also known as "ad-hoc" net-
works). For authentication type, the pcan driver supports the "open" (or "open-system") mode. For encryption type, only WEP is currently
supported. You perform configuration and administration tasks using the dladm(1M) and wificonfig(1M) utilities.
