6794043 NWAM needs more complete profile support
6914190 Support for unmanaged network interfaces in NWAM - hands off
6921971 nwamd fails to run teardown/net-svc after suspend/resume

introduces Network Auto-Magic (NWAM) Phase 1 into Solaris.

There will be a companion integration into the Desktop consolidation which
updates the NWAM GUI to support Phase 1.  The pre-build-135 GUI will *not*
work with NWAM Phase 1.

If you do a full update to build 135: you will get both the ON and Desktop
components, and will not have a problem.

If you just upgrade your ON bits to build 135, and have older Desktop bits:
the nwam service and CLI will be fully functional, but you will not be able
to use the GUI without doing an additional update.  If you wish to install
the GUI alone, you can find instructions and pointers to download the bits
at:

http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+nwam/Phase1EA

Please refer to the section entitled "Installation of the GUI bits for all
Users".

This project enhances the profile support of the existing NWAM, and offers
incresed customization in those profiles.  It also introduces an enhanced
GUI and command-line interfaces to view status and create/view/modify network
configuration profiles.

More details about the project can be found on our project page:

http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+nwam/

and specifics about Phase 1 can be found in the spec:

Questions should be sent to the project team via our discussion list:
nwam-discuss at opensolaris.org.

Bugs should be filed under Solaris/network/config
