Please pay no attention to my previous post: its inaccurate. I've gleaned some
information by reading similar posts :

This worked for me, you will of course have to make adjustments to the
following depending on your set-up. I diconnected my wired network first.
If you have retrieved and installed the driver correctly as per the
instructions, update your driver information database using the information in
the first post noted above.
Then at the root prompt
Stop nwam if it is running
myhost#svcs -a | grep nwam
myhost#svcadm disable nwam
With your Linksys device disconnected
myhost# tail -f /var/adm/messages
Now try and plug-in your Linksys usd device until you see the following
messages, or similar;

(<CTRL> + C terminates the listing) I had to try this a few times, in different
usb ports and could not get a response using a usb extension cable.
plumb the interface:
root at myhost:~myhost# ifconfig rum1 plumb
root at myhost:~myhost# ifconfig rum1
rum1: flags=201000802<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 5
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
ether 0:22:6b:9e:5e:52
scan for a wireless access point using dladm
root at myhost:~myhost# dladm scan-wifi rum1
LINK ESSID BSSID/IBSSID SEC STRENGTH MODE SPEED
rum1 VOYAGER2091-FD 0:16:e3:44:33:fd wep excellent g 54Mb
root at myhost:~myhost#
Try and connect : first define the security key if used ( I have a WEP key)
root at myhost:~# dladm create-secobj -c wep psk
provide value for 'psk': *************
confirm value for 'psk': *************
try and connect:
root at myhost:~# dladm connect-wifi -e my-wep-enabled-Access-Point -k psk rum1
#
(system does not respond with any message?)
check:
root at blueflash:~# dladm connect-wifi -e my-wep-enabled-Access-Point -k psk
rum1
dladm: cannot connect: already connected
start the interface, see if you can get an IP address (if your Access point is
also a dhcp server)
root at myhost:~# ifconfig rum1 dhcp
Check:
#ifconfig rum1
rum1: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500
index 5
inet 192.168.1.5 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 0:22:6b:9e:5e:52
(Ip address allocated and network connection up!)
Hope this helps,
