I wonder if this is another item of fall out caused by 534, such 1402.
Would be interesting to know if the latest kernel with the cache tweaks backed out works properly.
I don't recall seeing anything specific to wifi changing in the interim, at any rate.

Hello Ken and Garrett.
The pkg you mention has a later time stamp that what is currently installed, so hopefully the issue is fixed in oi_151_stable. No update is showing in the oi_151a repo. Here is my output of pkg info:

Fred - can you do this:
1. pfexec pkg refresh --full
2. pfexec pkg image-update -v
3. reboot
This will let you test the recent kernel updates with the ath driver I mentioned.

Ken, good news, I'm now connected through the wireless connection. So you can mark this bug closed. I had pkgs from sfebuild which did not refresh, so had to unset and check the wiki for it's replacement. image-update required package/pkg to be updated first.
Thank you for your help and everyone else on the illumos and oi team!
