Thanks. I found out that my wifi card is Broadcom 4318, for which there is only 
a 32-bit driver (via the ndiswrapper). I am not willing to boot into 32-bit, 
thus, I have to give up the idea of running the built-in wifi card.

My other option is to use the Airlink 101 AWLC4130 cardbus ("pci168c,1014"), 
which does not seem to have the 32-bit/64-bit limitation. But before I go any 
further, can someone help me decipher what the following instructions mean?

Step 3: Install driver by specific command:

# cp driver_32bit /kernel/drv
# cp driver_64bit /kernel/drv/amd64
# add_drv -i '"pcixxxx,xxxx"' driver_name

or, install driver by pkgadd command:

# pkgadd -d . SUNWxxxx


Thanks again.
