I did multiple times !!!!
The log file says (can get you as I have no connectivity)
Rereading configuration
Executing refresh method ("/lib/svc/method/..............")
Method "refresh" exited with status 0
ifconfig shows my interface with <BROADCAST, RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4>
There is no address on the interface. I am not sure what DHCP is not in
the flags. It should not matter to nwam but I do have /etc/dhcp.e1000g0.
