The bottom of this page:

Seems to indicate that you have the following wireless adapter:
0x4229  Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN(supporting
802.11a/b/g/Draft-N)    0x8086  Intel

Looking at the pages for adapters:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/wireless_driver_compatible_list/

I don't see yours on the list. Knowing that the community is still
waiting on other Intel wireless drivers, I think it's safe to say that
your wireless adapter is not yet supported.

However, since it is from Intel, it will likely be supported soon.
