Thanks for your feedback. I'll pay more attention on this problem, although it looks \
not derive from IWK driver.

I went home and tried it on my WPA2/Tkip&Aes & had the same problem. The problem is \
somewhere in between dladm (because wifi associates fine) & getting an IP address.

Thanks for your analysis about this problem. It will be very helpful to others \
having the same issue.

Fixed it. Here's how:
This reminded me of a bug Moinak Ghosh found in Belenix w/KDE - that zenity failing \
made nwam fail and then DHCP. I saw the zenity error in /var/adm/messages & the fact \
that my WLAN was listed but could not connect.
He indicated the popup failure result was in \
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/cmd-inet/lib/nwamd/util.c#253
The root cause turned out to be with zenity & nwam. I enabled debug for nwamd & saw \
that zenity could not pop up the 802.11 network selection window due to an xauth \
issue.
I did xhost +, restarted nwam, the window popped up, I selected my WPA network, \
entered the key & got an IP address assigned.
This made me go look at the NWAM list - where I saw the new NWAM + GUI. I installed \
the .10 package & everything is working perfectly.

Krusty Jonez ??:
Any reason with the 4965 I can't get a DHCP address when connected to APs with any \
encryption? I can associate fine with either nwam or regular network/physical to WEP \
or WPA APs , but cannot get assigned any dhcp information. Configuring the ip info by \
hand gets me online.
If static IP can make you online, it should not be iwk driver issue.
It can associate and get DHCP info fine from open APs.
I am using a 4965 in a Thinkpad T61 with 4gb ram.
This has happened since at least Nevada b93. I am now on Nevada b96 bfu'ed to 9/01 \
current.
Do you mean you have ever get Intel 4965 work OK with earlier Nevada build? Which \
one.
You can try below commands:
1. #svcadm disable physical:default
2. #svcadm enable nwam
(with a popup, you can choose your AP, input wep key, if still fail to get dhcp IP, \
then do next ) 3. #svcadm restart nwam
(when fail again, please post the /var/adm/messages file and output of "ifconfig \
-a")

All,
At present, mercurial gate of Intel 4965 WiFi driver(iwkph1.5) is opened to \
anonymous users. For more information how to download source code and contribute code \
for this driver, please refer to http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/sierra/. At \
ths same time, the package of this driver may be downloaded from this website as \
well. In this version(iwkph1.5), Calibration and IBSS(adhoc mode) features were \
added. Calibration provide a mechanism by which WiFi chipset may adjust it's TX power \
according current chipset temperatrue and make sure a good communication quality all \
the time. Furthermore, Calibration may adjust WiFi chipset's receiving sensitivity \
and make sure not receive overmuch noise and not lose useful wireless signal. Using \
IBSS mode, several wireless stations may setup a wireless network without central AP. \
Thanks,
Zhonghui
