Hmm, according to bug 6480859 / 6482530, opensolaris (build 58 or newer)
does support the Intel 82566DC NIC:

The 82566DC seems to be an Intel gigabit ethernet controller, so
e1000g would be the correct driver...

I think the e1000g driver has a compiled in pci device id table,
and doesn't easily work with "unknown" variants of the Intel
gigabit hardware.

Please post "prtconf -pv" output for your box (at least for the ethernet
controller),  so that we can identify the NIC hardware...
