You can safely ignore this message if you don't use Intel 4965 wifi driver.

I just re-integrated the following into snv_86:
      PSARC 2007/647 Intel 4965 802.11agn Wireless Driver
      6589928 Intel 4965 802.11agn Wireless Driver

The newly integrated driver is almost the same to that integrated into snv79(backout from snv_81) except that the openbsd copyright/license is added to the source code instead of the CDDL. Other than that, no new feature and bugfix are added for this re-integration.

This driver(iwk(7d)) is based on gldv3(mac wifi plugin and net80211 kernel module).
WPA-PSK(both TKIP and AES) is supported by the driver.
Both dladm and wificonfig are supported for configuration.

Pls file bugs at solaris/driver/wifi if you find some. Any further questions, please contact wifi-eng at sun dot com.

Thanks,

Brian
