Thanks for all the help! It will be a few days before I can go any further
with this as it turns out the new Intel 1000MT card I bought last week is
faulty! lspci in a Linux box can't see it and neither the link or
activity LEDs on the light up on connection to the network so I'll have to
get a replacement.
I'll let you know how I get on when I've got a working NIC - I'm using
Milax 0.3.2 because as far as I'm aware, it's the latest easily available
and free version of OSOL that both supports SPARC and can legally be used
for production purposes.
cheers, Andy

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know
if
drivers for Intel's Pro/1000MT gigabit PCI network interfaces are
available for the SPARC version of OSOL?
I've installed Milax 0.3.2 on an E450 and it configures & uses the
on-board hme0 interface but doesn't see either the Intel E100 (100
Mbit/s) or MT1000 gigabit PCI interface cards. I seem to remember
reading somewhere that drivers for Intel NICs were included with
Solaris 10 - would it be possible to install the driver from Sol 10
and use this with Milax/OSOL or would I be better off getting a
Sun-supported gigabit NIC?
I'd expect to see the e1000g driver under /kernel/drv/sparcv9.
That should attach and work just fine with your card, though
it's certainly possible that you might have to check your driver
aliases and update via update_drv.
This is missing from /kernel/drv/sparcv9 so I'll see if I can find it
elsewhere.

Thanks for the info!

Milax was a 'minimal' OSOL derivative, which may be why you don't have it.
This is pkg info:
http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/manifest/0/driver%2Fnetwork%2Fe1000g@0.5.11,5.11-0.151.0.1%3A20101104T232029Z
