The Solaris on Xen project by default uses VNICs to provide network
access for guest domains. If VNICs aren't available on wireless NICs
then guest domains on systems with only a wireless NIC won't be able
to get to the network.

Of course, we need to hurry up the work to provide a NAT (L2 or L3) or
routing based solution, but neither of those will happen in time for
our initial putback.
