Overview

The objective of project "Sierra" is to provide a robust Solaris device driver support for Intel WiFi chipsets. This is a joint project between Intel and Sun under MCA.

Status and Plan

• Sierra – iwk phase 1 : iwk(Intel 4965 802.11abgn) has been integrated into snv_86.
• Sierra – iwk phase 1.5: Intel and Sun are now jointly working on phase 1.5(IBSS support and Calibration features).
• Sierra – iwk phase 2 : iwk 802.11n support
• Sierra – iwh: Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 Driver(Shirley Peak)

Project Discussion

• To get run-able package(binaries), for snv104-， please download them at SUNWiwk, iwkph1.5, and net80211 binary; for snv105+, please download them at SUNWiwk, iwkph1.5, and net80211 binary. Please note IBSS need be configured by wificonfig v0.2.

• To get source code, Please clone iwk-ibss-calibration repository.

$ hg clone ssh://your dash login at hg dot opensoalris dot org/hg/sierra/iwk-ibss-calibration

• To contribute code, please send your ideas to laptop-discussion@opensolaris.org firstly.

• iwk Calibration support has been integrated into snv_99, while IBSS support has not been integrated yet.

Sierra – iwh

• IWH driver is for Intel Shirley Peak WiFi chipset. At present, this driver only supports basic 802.11B/G mode.

• To get run-able package(binary):for snv104-, please download it at SUNWiwh; for snv105+, please download it at SUNWiwh;.

• iwh(7D) has been integrated into snv_99.

iwk & iwh sparc version

• iwk and iwh sparc version makes intel 4965 and Shirley Peak WiFi chipset work on sparc platform.

• To get run-able package(binaries), please download them at SUNWiwk, iwk binary, SUNWiwh, iwh binaryand net80211 binary.

• To get source code, Please clone iwk-iwh-sparc repository.
