Looking a the log, you can see that there is no BSSID specified:
3: door_switch: processing WLAN selection : link iwk0 ESSID dub04wlan , BSSID
1: nwamd_ncu_handle_state_event: changing state for NCU link:iwk0 to (offline*
, connecting to selected wireless network)
1: nwamd_wlan_connect: WLAN connect for iwk0
17: wlan_connect_thread: dladm_wlan_connect returned operation timed out
17: wlan_connect_thread: connect to 'dub04wlan' failed on 'iwk0': operation
timed out
It is assumed that if no specific BSSID is specified that the connection would
pick the "best", but this doesn't seem to be how it's working.
In contrast, if you use nwamadm select-wifi, to do the same, it will make the
selection specifying the BSSID, and this succeeds.
This is either a bug in the API or in my assumptions about the API (which are
based upon how 0.5 worked). Also the nwam_wlan_select() function doesn't appear
to be documented in the API spec at opensolaris.org.
Another interesting part of the log is that there is no CONNECTION_REPORT event
to say that the connection failed, and the next event sent is that the of the
periodic scan and the object state change to Wifi Need Selection.
I'm re-assigning this to the NWAM Core team for further evaluation.
