Hi,
My college has setup a new WiFi setup. It uses MAC address authentication and DHCP.
I am using Netgear WG311 v3 PCI card. I am trying to use it on Open Solaris build70 .I successfully installed the malo driver.

using wificonfig and dladm I can see the connections. I can also connect to a non-secure connection (But can't browse due to MAC address registration).

The secure connection uses WPA2 security. I am unable to connect to it (even automagic can't connect to it!!). It shows the error
malo0: operation not permitted.

Does Solaris provide support for WPA2 security?

What can be the reason and solution?


Is there a GUI tool on Solaris to connect to WiFi? (Inetmenu is useful only after connecting).

Thanks and regards,
Vineet

There's some 3rd party wireless GUI tools. Tadpole computers come with them, but I can't remember the name of the tool. I don't remember it supporting WPA2, just WEP. However, that was a couple years ago, might support WPA2 now.
