Can SUN Ultra60 that is installed Solaris2.6 support Wireless network?

If can, what additional hardware should I install, and how to configure it?By the way, can I use wireless mouse and keyboard for Ultra60?Thanks very much!

Hello.

From the hardware side wireless lan or USB keyboards should not be a problem (when installing a PCI USB controller).

However you will hardly find any wireless network or USB device drivers for Solaris 2.6. USB is partially supported beginning with Solaris 8 (real Support with Solaris 9 and all patches or Solaris 10). Wireless networking is supported by the latest releases of Solaris 11 (OpenSolaris) and possibly Solaris 10.

My suggestion would be a wireless bridge (it is rather expensive; costs about 50 Euros or 50 US-$). This device is simply connected to the ethernet port of a computer - no special hardware or software is required. I was told that these devices do not work very well.

Wireless keyboards and mice exist with PS/2 connectors. There are also devices that allow you to connect PS/2 mice to an 8-Pin Sun keyboard and mouse connector. However these devices are very expensive (between 50 and 250 US-$).

(I connected a PS/2 mouse to the 8-Pin Sun port using a self-built cirquit. I can give you the schematics and the microcontroller firmware if you are familiar with electronic schematic development. It comes with no warranty.)

Hi Martin,

Thanks a lot. Your information is very helpful to me.

I will try your methods on my workstation. However, I am not familiar with electronic schematic development, so I will go to market to find the converter first. If I cannot find it or it's too expensive to be accepted, I will go back to you.

Thanks.

Sherry.
