I'm sorry, I shouldn't have posted this late, I got this done already, thanks anyway. For anyone looking for a solution, I used:

Code:
wificonfig -i ath0 connect (wireless network name)

Code:
ifconfig ath0 dhcp

And then I changed my /etc/nsswitch.conf file. I changed the line:

hosts: files

to:

hosts: files dns

Oh and don't forget to add your DNS addresses in /etc/resolv.conf

But I would like to know what file I can add commands in, so that Solaris runs them when I boot Solaris. Thanks.
