First, snv_36 has wificonfig integrated in, and that wificonfig is the 
newest version. So just use it and not that posted on opensolaris instead.

Second, before run 'autoconf', you should predefine a profile by 
'createprofile' and place that profile in the preference list by 
'setprefer'.
Alternatively, after you define a profile and successfully connect to 
the WIFI network with that profile by 'connect' , then that profile will 
be recorded in the preference list automatically.

Regarding the ioctl err, it is the first time I see such message, a 
little strange to me. I need more look at it.
