I'm using OSOL snv_b134 and the network connection is not initiated before user 
login. Once I login to the Gnome desktop the network connection initializes and 
works fine without problems.

Since I want to run the server without keyboard and monitor this is a very 
inconvenient situation.

How do I troubleshoot this problem and how can I trace and change the 
initiation procedure so that the NIC initiates and runs properly without user 
login?

that sounds like nwam's configured, to check, type

$ svcs -a | grep physical
online          6:26:53 svc:/network/physical:nwam
disabled        6:26:56 svc:/network/physical:default

if your output looks similar to the above, then you need to do

$ pfexec svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam
$ pfexec svacdm enable svc:/network/physical:default

and configure /etc/hosts to contain the hostname and IP address of this box, and /etc/hostname.<ifname> (where <ifname> is the network interface you want to assign said IP addres to) to contain the hostname - google should be able to help with the details, and also http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+nwam/
