Indeed, that does match the pci id registry entries for the 3com "Hurricane" found here: http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=10b76055 However, a perusal of various websites seems to indicate that this particular hardware has poor support in general, 3com doesn't even offer driver downloads for it anymore (at least, I couldn't find any). There are a few users who have managed to get it working somehow with the elxl driver included with Solaris 10.
