Rudi,
"pci1186,3300" is not an official device entry in /etc/driver_aliases, 
which means it may need another driver to support it.

I have no idea what kind of wifi chipset it is,  you can try below 
command to force rtw driver attach:
#update_drv -a -i '"pci1186,3300"' rtw
Please feedback to me the result, and post the /etc/release info, so 
that I can send you a debug version rtw driver to help you test.
The rtw driver support list in 
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/rtw was from old 
NetBSD/rtw manual page, it might be incorrect.
 
Thanks,
Michael
