I 'fixed' it by removing and reinstalling the driver pkg, and then with .. 

# update_drv -a -i '"pciex168c,XXXX"' arn

.. which I found here ..

However, there I was, happy to have WiFi back on my netbook, and was typing 
away, when suddenly the 'workspace changer' crashed ... then the 'network 
monitor' crashed ... then the bottom 'taskbar' crashed ... 

I selected the OpenSolaris icon to do a reboot, when the entire OS just died, 
and I got the 'Toshiba' logo as it rebooted.

Then I get the 'opensolaris' logo on blue, and the 'Knight Rider' kind of thing 
going from left to right.  That lasted for eighteen minutes, and then the 
console appears, and I get.. 

WARNING: the following files in / differ from the boot archive
        changed /etc/driver_aliases

I logged in as root and did a manual reboot, and things are back to normal.  
The command above is now in a script in /root, lest I need to use it again, but 
it's quite worrying that this should happen when all I did was close the lid 
and move to another room.  I installed OpenSolaris 'cos the second part of that 
name spoke 'stability', but it looks as if OpenSolaris is about as 'stable' as 
was RedHat back in 1992.  And that's disappointing.
