I eventually go this sorted.

I had to disable physical:nwam and enable physical:deault under SMF then create a /etc/hostname.rum0 file

Upon reboot elxl0 remembered it's IP address and rum0 was assigned an IP from my wireless router. Althoguh my router reported conected under dladm, I was getting "page not found" when opening a browser.

I had to find the DNS servers for my provider (googled them) then added them to

/etc/resolv.conf file, and add these 2 lines
nameserver (primary dns)
nameserver (secondary dns)

Then;

cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf

After a reboot I had to manually connect to my wifi using dladm but it all works now.

I will try and get this working using nwam but I have a few things I want to try first. Will report back when I can!

Cheers
