In an effort to spur adoption of Solaris, Sun has begun a project code-named Indiana to try to give its operating system some of the trappings of Linux. The project is one of the items on the to-do list of Ian Murdock, founder of the Debian version of Linux and, as of March, Sun's chief operating systems officer. Though he wouldn't confirm the name of the project, Murdock - who's from Indiana - discussed the project's essence at the JavaOne conference here Monday, and Sun spokesman Russ Castronovo confirmed the name.

Where could I find a list of _currently_ supported wireless chipsets and wpa/wep support availability ?
Atheos, Intel 2100/2200/2915 and recently added in b64, 3945 - having had a look at the next Solaris Express Developer Edition, it appears it'll be based on build 64/65; that'll include basically support for all of Intel's wireless chipset; 4265 although it has been released and being included with some laptops - personally, I'd stay clear of it - read up on arstechnica about the conjob that is 802.11n, and how it won't/can't reach full speed.
In regards to a previous, unrelated post; it isn't "beta 64" - OpenSolaris isn't in beta, it is a project in progress; parts are only merged once they've been adequately tested - once done, then merged; OpenSolaris is the equivilant to the respins of Red Hat - constantly being updated - a rolling release schedule if you will.
