The thread "Probably small question" discusses installation of OI
on an EeePC under the premise that the GUI Live image discovered
and supported the WiFi of the computer, while the Text live image
and subsequent installed OS did not.

I do not currently have an untampered text-based OS to verify and
validate that claim - or presence/lack of wifi support in the text
installer image. Still, I see how this can be a problem to newcomers
not savvy in OpenSolaris networking new features and tools. At the
very least, this may be a problem of documentation and communication.
