long reply .. somewhat verbose .. sorry
I have two diffrent machines here, both appliance style devices with VIA C7
processors and both with different RealTek chips on their motherboards. One
of them runs Solaris 10 Update 4 out of the box just fine and the other runs
snv_69 nicely. Both automatigically detect the RealTek chips and I can plumb
up interfaces and they work fine.
I tried the gani driver over and over and saw the same problems that you
have. I exchanged emails with Masa Murayama and new gani revs were released.
I was not able to get those working either.
As of snv_69 things just simply worked and with S10u4 .. things just work
out of the box.
Not sure what sort of hardware you have there or why you need to try the
gani driver.
Here are two machines doing what they should :

and has an i387 compatible floating point processor.

soooo .. what I am asking is .. what are you running there that won't "just
work".
