No, you need to update your routes. Solaris doesn't (by default) set
these up in a failover mode, so it is still trying to use your wired

ifconfig down the rsls0 interface, and manually change your default
route if necessary. (Depending on your configuration, this may or may
not be necessary. Are the wired and wireless networks on the same subnet?)
