At the risk of starting a flame war (and I'll add that I use NWAM MOST of the time), there was a tool called inetmenu available on the OpenSolaris site here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/inetmenu
I've not released an update (mainly to use dladm instead of wificonfig), but if you think this would be usefull, I can send you the latest version. In short, if you want to have more direct control about what is connecting where, and if you want to have multiple interfaces configured, and you want to easily configure static netwrking, then inetmenu might be what you want. Nwam WILL get there, but in the meantime...
