I've just started up my laptop, and issued the command:

#wificonfig -i ipw0 getparam radio

It returns:

radio: off

as expected.

I cannot see any option on my desktop to switch on my radio as suggested 
by Cecilia.

I then issued the command:

#svcadm enable physical:nwam

As I found before this lights up the "wireless" light on my laptop.

#wificonfig -i ipw0 getparam radio

now returns:

radio: on

#wificonfig -i ipw0 connect homenet

Now waits for a few seconds and comes back with:

wificonfig: failed to connect to profile 'homenet'

As mentioned I've had this working on other hardware (and conversely 
this hardware working on Fedora) so I am confident I have my network, 
wep key, etc. set up correctly and that the hardware is not broken.

It seems OpenSolaris just doesn't work with this hardware. :(

Andrew.
