redirecting to networking-discuss ... I have a few questions (the answers to (that was for dcb ;-)) which might help narrowing this down:

That'd probably help identify the card you have. "pfexec dladm scan-wifi" might also prove worthwhile. Have you tried to assigning a static IP address to the IF for the fun of it (you need to switch to network:physical from nwam for that to work properly)? Do you know whether the thing at the other end can actually see (hear?) your card? has it ever worked before?
