Nope, the first one was probably assigned to your original card. It is
not bug, Solaris is not assigning devices per boot (to avoid reshuffle
ordering of devices). "Reconfigure reboot" would cleanup it.

Yes, that's the other possibility.

I would say that NWAM had some problem with configuration after wpi0 was
removed and new wpi1 was added to system. It should be easy to
reproduce/
