Heads Up: WPA/Personal mode support for Solaris WiFi driver

The Solaris WiFi driver has been enhanced to support WPA/Personal
mode with the putback of

PSARC 2006/046 Wireless WPA Supplicant
PSARC 2007/223 Wireless WPA Supplicant Addendum
6363273 Need access to WPA/TKIP functionality

In this putback, a new service "network/wpa" is introduced, and the
dladm(1M), net80211(5), ath(7D) driver, and nwam(1M) has been enhanced
to support the WPA/Personal mode.  More drivers (ipw/iwi/wpi/ral)
supporting WPA/Personal will come soon.

You can easily access the WPA protected wireless network by dladm or nwam:

$ dladm create-secobj -c wpa mykey  /* create a wpa psk specified by 
your AP */
$ dladm connect-wifi -e essid -k mykey

If you find any bugs, please file them against solaris/driver/wifi.
You can reach the team via wifi-dladm at Sun dot COM.
