Hi Hazvinei,
What's the device id of your integrated network controller? You can get
it with prtconf or scanpci.
Maybe the bundled nge driver can work on your system. It supports the
following PCI devices.
"pci10de,56" "pci10de,57" "pci10de,269" "pci10de,268" "pci10de,373"
"pci10de,372" "pci10de,3ee" "pci10de,3ef" "pci10de,de" "pci10de,df"
"pci10de,38" "pci10de,39"
Sorry, currently only "pci10de,56" "pci10de,57" "pci10de,269"
"pci10de,268" "pci10de,373" "pci10de,372" are supported by nge. And the
others will be supported soon. I've copyed the device IDs from the
workspace that I'm working on.

Been able to painfully make it through installing opensolaris on
Gigabyte GeForce 6100/Nforce 430 motherboard. I had mistakenly assumed
that the painfree installation on nForce590 XFX board with a XFX
GE7900 meant good across the board support for nvidia chipsets and boy
was I wrong.
In any event i have been able to overcome an out of sync issue with
the display and suffered through installing the latest nvidia drivers.
The only thing I need to accomplish is getting the network card
working, don't care about sound because this is going to be a file
server. Solaris was picked for its reputation and ZFS, but it has come
at a price that I am starting to wonder about.
Back to my issue, I have tried unsuccessfully to install Murayama's
nfo driver. I can never get the drivers to compile and always get an
error saying make doesn't know how to make install. I tried just
copying the precompiled binaries, but still no luck. I have only
gotten as far as getting the interface to show up as active in
x-windows, but I am not even sure if this is correct or not.
I have the nfo driver attached to pci address 3ef and 269 without any
issue. I have configured all the necessary host files, etc. I have
tried to go through different remedies I have seen on the internets(!)
but no dice.
If someone could help me with either (i) compiled binaries for an
amdx2 system in 64 bit, (ii) a troubleshooting walkthrough for
resolving my compiling error, check whether the system is actually
interacting with the interface, and anything else that can help me. I
followed all the steps in the readme, tried them in different order,
etc. So I am pretty much stumped. Also, any chance that I can get over
this by going with a different distribution?
If I cannot get this working this weekend, I am going to look to a
linux, freeNAS, or linux-with ZFS solution. Solaris looks and sounds
great but the sheer hardware and driver crapshoot is always going to
be its achilles heal I'm afraid and that means I will have to send
more money to redmond for low quality products that usually work.
