Yes, nwam is terrible, isn't it? But fortunately, one can still configure
the interfaces manually on Solaris. Just disable nwam and configure
interfaces as usual, using ipadm instead of ifconfig:

# svcadm disable network/physical:nwam
# svcadm enable network/physical:default

Then use ipadm(1M).

It isn't as clean as FreeBSD's way of network config though. ;-)
