I'm not so sure. It seems to use the Nvidia MCP7A-ION
chipset for lan, and that may or may not be supported 
with Solaris' current nge driver.  Nvidia seems to change
the lan controller's pci ids with every new chipset.  With
a bit of luck you may be able to add the new pci ids to
nge's driver binding entries and nge works using "generic"
nvidia lan controller hardware, without supporting
special features of the MCP7A hardware.  Or the nge driver
needs some changes to support the new MCP7A version of the
chipset.

A scanpci -v for such a board would be interesting...


(The Realtek RTL8211CL Gigabit PHY attached on the
MCP7A lan controller probably isn't a problem)

Could result in the same problem, nVidia might have
invented new pci ids that are not yet known by the
"nvidia" kernel module.
