Wireless in OpenSOLARIS

Hi forum

I have this old lappy, with an Intel 3945abg wireless...

Assuming I install OpenSolaris in it, Would I have to "tweak" something to have my wireless connection operational...?

Is there a native Package manager... ?

What is it similar to ? BSD Ports ( source compilation ), Synaptic/yum ( binary installs )...

Most of my questions are n00bish... I know nothing of OpenSolaris....

BRGDS

Alex

This card is supported out of the box by the wpi driver.
