I think firefox should not cauese so heavey date transfer. Although wpi link may go down, it should re-connect to the network automatically. I think the problem is that nwam can not disable WPA in driver when wpi link goes down, so your wpi can not re-connect to network again. Please run the dtrace script in the attachment to get more info when your wpi link goes down. And if your Solaris is a DEBUG version, you can add one line 'set wpi:wpi_dbg_flags = 0x7dbf' to the bottom line of /etc/system, then reboot. After reboot, you will get more info from /var/adm/messages when your wpi has problem. Please have a try.
