It seems you need to install SUNWcry package.
Please see the FAQ section:

FAQ
1) I can connect to my access point successfully, but I can't get an IP
address through DHCP.
Due to certain export control restrictions, stardard Solaris encryption
kit only supports 128 bit RC4, so you might need to download and install
new SUNWcry package.
---------------------
This is the root cause.
