Dear all,

I've a wlan card, which i've configured manually as nwam keeps
disconnecting the network very frequently. also nwam would hang or not
work if the access point was shutdown or restarted momentarily. 

So for me manual configuration works best. 

arun at opensolaris:~# svcs -a|grep physical
disabled       23:30:51 svc:/network/physical:nwam
online         23:31:00 svc:/network/physical:default

Problem: I've to always connect manually to the access point, now i've
written a script to do that, every time the computer restarts. 

Target: I would like to connect to the access point automatically
inspite of manual configuration. 

arun at opensolaris:~# dladm show-wifi
