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.
