Hi Rich,

BCM4401 is not support by native solaris drivers, but you can easily
install the third party driver bfe:
  http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/device_drivers/files/

What's the model of system are you running? We're considering if we can
get the hardware and support bcm4401 natively.

Regards,
Crisson
