I would<br class="">appreciate to receive any test results on any of the other supposedly<br class="">supported hardware, especially the 4965 and 5000 series that are<br class="">currently supported by the iwk and iwh drivers. To switch to iwn for<br class="">such a device you'll need to run update_drv twice, once to remove the<br class="">PCI ID from the old driver and again to add it to iwn. Here's an<br class="">example of how to do this for a 4965 device:<br class=""><br class=""># update_drv -d -i pciex8086,4229 iwk<br class=""># update_drv -a -i pciex8086,4229 iwn<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">The iwp driver, which supports some older variants of the 6000 series,<br class="">was changed to no longer attach to any devices by default. If you've<br class="">been using iwp until now you will automatically be using iwn after<br class="">updating illumos. If you run into any problems with iwn you can file a<br class="">bug report and temporarily switch back to iwp using the update_drv<br class="">method described above.<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">Hans<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">-- <br class="">%SYSTEM-F-ANARCHISM, The operating system has been overthrown<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">-------------------------------------------<br class="">illumos-developer<br class="">Archives: <a href="https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182179/=now" class="">https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182179/=now</a><br class="">RSS Feed: <a href="https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182179/25033492-6af06f0e" class="">https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182179/25033492-6af06f0e</a><br class="">Modify Your Subscription: <a href="https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25033492&id_secret=25033492-fa2f869b" class="">https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25033492&id_secret=25033492-fa2f869b</a><br class="">Powered by Listbox: <a href="http://www.listbox.com" class="">http://www.listbox.com</a><br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></body></html>
