There is a driver for some PCMCIA wavelan cards for Solaris 2.6 - more or 
less unofficial from Tadpole, no idea which cards are suported ( I think 
some Lucent 2MBit cards should work ). I bugged the Tadpole people several 
times but couldn't get any useful info out of them. Check the mailing list 
archive, the wavelan topic comes up pretty often.

well - try to dig up the pcwl*  driver for Solaris 2.6 ( ... or so it was 
called, I'm currently at work so I can't check it, I think I have it 
somewhere on my 3GX at home, never tried it - no need for wavelan )

have fun
