you can try the following operations:
You may run "ifconfig ath0 unplumb" and "ficonfig ath0 plumb" before connect a AP.
or you can do a
dladm disconnect-wifi <intf>
ifconfig <intf> dhcp release
dladm connect-wifi [new wifi infomation (essid, key, etc)]
ifconfig <intf> dhcp primary

Subject: Re: [laptop-discuss] How to reconnect wlan when moving to a newaccess point \
?
I have the same symptoms as described below.
Worse, when I move from wired to Wifi (on the same network, eg by unplugging the \
cable from the ADSL router to my laptop), nwam fails to configure the interface until \
I reboot. This used to work.
I have tried to do svcadm restart physical:nwam, I have also tried to disable nwam \
and run wificonfig autoconf etc, and then get a seeming connected status but do not \
get an IP, even manually, unless I reboot.

If I do:
# wificonfig -i ath0 connect newpoint
It looks like I'm connected based on: wificonfig -i ath0 showstatus
linkstatus: connected
active profile: none
essid: newpoint
bssid: 00:18:b0:7b:c2:99
encryption: none
signal strength: medium(10)
but 'ifconfig ath0' shows:
ath0: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 10.0.255.255
which means I haven't got a new IP at the new access point
It seems to indicate that my IP is set to 0.0.0.0
Now if I try:
# ifconfig ath0 dhcp
ifconfig: ath0: wait timed out, operations still pending
and I fail to get a new IP. It doesn't matter how many times I do wificonfig
disconnect and connect I never manage to get the wlan interface up unless
I reboot after which it comes up automatically without the need for any manual
wificonfig and it works reliably.
How can I clean up the state of ifconfig and wificonfig such that it can
reconnect and acquire new IP after moving to another access point ?
I'm running Indiana build 96 Anyone experienced similar problems ?
It shows the same behavior when I go back home to my local
access point so it has nothing to with the access points themselves
or any security setting as everything works on each location
after a reboot.
Any help would be appreciated
