I suspect that the NWAM service (see nwamd(1m)) is enabled on your
system, but that you'd rather not use it.  Try this:

svcadm disable network/physical:nwam
svcadm enable network/physical:default

Yes, they are.  They're clearly designed for an operating system other
than Solaris, and need to be re-designed.  Thankfully, I think the NWAM
Phase 1 project is planning on implementing a better user interface.
