Hello all, Im new to Solaris(trying to find a way out of the darkside).
Ive installed Solaris 10 with no problem but cant seem to get my networking setup. I have an Asus M2N32-SLI deluxe wireless mainboard. When I go to the network monitor in Solaris, it shows me a connection labeled lo0 but it doesnt seem to be active in any way. The wireless adapter onboard my mb is a REalTek RTL 8187.

I guess what Im looking for is some type of walkthrough. Ive looked elsewhere on these forums as well as other places on the net but cant seem to grasp what is being said.

1) I have no clue how to look at anything showing wether or not the system even recognizes the wireless adapter.

2) I dont know how to do any kind of configuring of the adapter.

Any help for a newb would be appreciated.

LOL Windows has me so spoiled, its time I learn to walk on my own.

I'm afraid there is no driver available for your adapter, even with Solaris Express which I would recommend anyway:

Better to double check with this tool:

I didnt notice any other wireless pci desktop adapters supported, do you know of any?

Some Wifi PCI adapters supported are listed here:

I'm sure many other ones based on supported chipsets should just work.
