84: === How to use ===
85: 
86: The easiest way to install the driver is from pre-compiled [[binary package>>../../downloads/atu-0.1-pkg.tar.gz]]:
87: 
88: {{{
89:     # wget http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/downloads/atu-0.1-pkg.tar.gz
90:     # gzip -dc atu-0.1-pkg.tar.gz | tar xvf -
91:     # pkgadd -d . SUNWatu
92: }}}
93: 
94: You should be able to see the interface right after installing this
95: package without having to reboot first:
96: 
97: {{{
98:     # dladm show-link
99:     # ifconfig atu1 plumb
100: }}}
101: 
102: If plumbing failed, your card may be not supported or there is no driver alias for it.  Please try:
103: 
104: {{{
105:     # echo ’::prtusb’ | mdb -k			(check your device vendor ID and product ID)
106:     # update_drv -a -i ’usbxxxx,xxxx’ atu	(manually add the device to driver alias)
107: }}}
108: 
109: If the above commands failed, please send us a note and we’ll try to help.
110: 
111: If you can plumb the atu1 interface, you can use wificonfig/dladm to config the wireless interface. Alternatively, you can enable nwam.
112: 
113: {{{
114:     # svcadm disable physical:default
115:     # svcadm enable physical:nwam
116: }}}
117: 
118: You will have to use a little trick to make the device hotplugging work.
119: If you disconnected the device while the interface is plumbed and reconnected it to the USB port again, driver will print a warning messages (in /var/adm/messages):
120: 
121: {{{
122:     WARNING: atu1: device open, stage2 firmware not loaded
123: }}}
124: 
125: Then you need to gently unplug the USB connector only half way out of the hub (about 2 milimeters) the data pins are disconnected from the hub, but the device is still powered. This means the hub will detect the device is gone, but the firmware will stay in the RAM of the device. When you plug the device back in now, the hub will detect the device again. Doing this is fairly easy, but it won’t always work on the first attempt. Just try a couple of times.
126: 
127: Once the stage2 firmware loaded, you will see a notification (in /var/adm/messages):
128: 
129: {{{
130:     NOTICE: atu1: stage2 firmware loaded
131: }}}
132: 
133: From this point on, the device is ready. Happy networking.
