Welcome to kernel/driver development. I'd recommend doing mdb -K to
start the kernel debugger before adding your driver (or boot using
kmdb. Details are posted elsewhere.)
I strongly suggest at this point that you spend some quality time with
the documented called "Writing Device Drivers". It is located on the
docs.sun.com. Look in the Solaris 10 collection, and drill down through
the Software Development collection. It will be near the bottom.
There are hints in there about debugging kernel code, as well as hints
about writing device drivers for specific kinds of devices. You'll want
to familiarize yourself with the chapter about Network Drivers, and you
might want to look at any STREAMs information. (There is also a whole
2nd book called STREAMs Programming (IIRC) that also has lots and lots
of detail about working with STREAMs. All network drivers are STREAMs
drivers in Solaris, though GLD shields you from most of the details.)
