RTL 8187 over Solaris / Opensolaris 10

To install the 1000mW usb wireless adapter ( can purchase from me :P ) over Solaris 10 here i wrote the step to go


# wget http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community
/laptop/downloads/SUNWurtw-0.2.tar.gz
# gzip -dc SUNWurtw-0.2.tar.gz | tar xvf -
# pkgadd -d . SUNWurtw
 
You should be able to plumb the interface right after installing this
package without having to reboot first:


# ifconfig urtw0 plumb

If plumbing failed, your card may be not supported or just not
getting properly identified by the Solaris kernel.



If you can plumb the urtw0 interface, you can use wificonfig/dladm CLI to config the wifi. 
Alternatively, you can enable the GUI nwam.

Easy... but not too easy for new comers for unix/linux operating system..but a good step to experience
