ifconfig -a will only show devices that are already plumbed. To quote man ifconfig:
"Before an interface has been plumbed, the interface will not show up in the output of the ifconfig -a command." Furthermore, you can only plumb a device that has a driver. For the broadcom card I put in my example, it is supported by the bge driver, and is detected as such. If not, it would have to be added to the driver_aliases database. It is suggested to use update_drv to add the definition instead of editing directly /etc/driver_aliases: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=2490঺ So you run scanpci, then look for the vendor and device id. There are a few other tips found on this post: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=16560&tstart=0 Of course, all of that assumes that there is a proper driver for the network card already in solaris. There are times when this is not the case, so you also have to find a driver, install it etc...
