Well, I'm pretty much in the same position.
I have a desktop/home server computer (Asus P5WDH Deluxe Mainboard) which works 
with opensolaris last dev release (soon snv110)
I have a laptop (dell) from my work dualbooting winxp and opensolaris, updated 
with the last dev repository.

The first one works with the myk driver, but each time I install has to compile 
it by hand before I get LAN network access. I even never tried to get the 
onboard wifi working, I know it's hopeless.

The second one (Dell Latitude D620) has a bcm4311 built-in adapter, used to 
work in 32bit mode with ndis (no longer AFAIK), but of course nothing in 64bit.
I tried (I mean bought) at least 5 different USB/PCMCIA adapters before I got 1 
to work with the malo driver.
Now, since crossbow, it no longer works, so I'm out of luck.
I mean it there are atheros drivers that seem to work but AFAIK no possibility 
to by them, they cannot be find in stores (at least in France where Iive).
I love opensolaris, but it makes my life hard to have to be plugged. 

I think the devs should at leats integrate such working drivers as malo and 
have them updated to each change.
With osol-0906 coming I gave hope of malo getting upgraded before...
