I have this chipset on a Sony Vaio TZ90S.  I've tried binding the wpi driver to it, but
I just get timeout messages from wpi when running dladm scan-wifi:

    WARNING: wpi_power_up(): timeout waiting for NIC to power up
    WARNING: wpi_init(): timeout waiting for firmware init

The relevant parts from prtconf -v:

        name='compatible' type=string items=13 
            value='pciex8086,4229.8086.1103.61' + 'pciex8086,4229.8086.1103' + 'pciex8086,4229.61' + 'pciex8086,4229' + 'pciexclass,028000' + 'pciexclass,0280' + 'pci8086.4229.8086.1103.61' + 'pci8086,4229.8086.1103' + 'pci8086,1103' + 'pci8086,4229.61' + 'pci8086,4229' + 'pciclass,028000' + 'pciclass,0280'
