Thanks for those tips, George.  I'll give those a try too.
<p>
Just a reminder, as discussed earlier in this thread, the thread title is 
misleading - this is because scanpci in 2008.11 is showing an identifier string 
of BCM4312, but the raw PCI ID is plainly a 14e4,<b>4315</b> chipset.  I guess 
that means I should log a defect that scanpci should show a string of BCM4315.  
Or do I misunderstand the mapping between Broadcom device name strings and PCI 
IDs?

<p>
Anyway, although the 14e4,4315 device is listed as supported by the HP 
sp39243.exe driver listed on the OpenSolaris NDIS site for the 14e4,4312, that 
driver has been superseded by the <a 
href='http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=447687&swItem=ob-61972-1&mode=3'>sp39912.exe</a>
 driver, which is version 7.00 E.   That's the version I'm testing with now.  
If you click on the "Revision History" tab of the driver link above, you'll see 
there's even a newer version of the driver that that, from last month.
<p>
I definitely had to disable NWAM and manually activate the wireless link with 
dladm and ifconfig.  Once done, the new driver from sp39912.exe runs the 
14e4,4315 chipset at much faster speeds than the driver from sp39243.exe.  And 
it doesn't hang - at least, not yet.
<p>
The fact that 2008.11 doesn't create the /var/crash/... dir hierarchy when 
using ZFS boot prevented me from getting crash dumps up until today.  Just 
fixed that and tested it, so if I get a crash again, I can at least provide you 
with some hard evidence.  Looking good so far though...
