You can safely ignore this message if you don't use USB WiFi adapter
based on
Atmel AT76C50x chipsets.

I just integrated the followings into Solaris Nevada:

PSARC 2009/143 Atmel AT76C50x USB IEEE 802.11b Wireless Device Driver
6812825 Atmel AT76C50x USB IEEE 802.11b wireless device driver

The atu(7D) driver is based on GLDv3 Framework, you can easily use it by
dladm or nwam. Note that atu supports security mode of None and WEP.
See http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/atu/ for
supported devices.

Please file bugs at solaris/driver/wifi if you find any problems.

Thanks,
Tim
