snv_53 and SUNWnwam don't work together well.

The current SUNWnwam prototype package doesn't work well on snv_53.
I'm fairly sure this is due to the integration of the packet filtering
hooks project which removed the svc:/network/pfil service.

I highly recommend pkgrm of SUNWnwam before doing an upgrade to snv_53.

If you use live upgrade the SUNWnwam pkgrm doesn't appear to be live
upgrade friendly so do it in the current BE before the copy (I'm not
sure if that will help or not but I didn't and I did this and still
managed to get in a very confused state after attempting to add it
afterwards.

It also doesn't work with the new GLDv3 wireless that integrated into ON
on November 20th and this requires code changes to netprofd to change
how it looks for wireless interfaces. I have a very simple one line
change that appears to work for that.

In defines.h you need to have this:

#define IF_PLUGGED_IN(i) (((i)->if_flags & IFF_RUNNING) ||
((i)->if_type == IF_WIRELESS))


Any change of an update of the SUNWnwam package to work for snv_54 and
later ?

Yes, I merged our gate with the latest Nevada gate and rebuilt, removing both
our old references to the network/pfil service, and making the one-line code
change which you suggested. The result is now available from our prototype
page
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nwam/prototype/

as package version 0.4 . Thanks Darren for your assistance!
