Ok;  which version of Solaris are you running?

This version of the Intel PRO/100 VE Desktop Adapter
should be supported since Solaris Express build 42:

    Bug 6330971
    Request support for Intel ICH7 network controller
    http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6330971


On my Solaris Express CE box running build 111 (and bfu'ed to more
recent kernel bits) I already have:

% grep 8086,27dc /etc/driver_aliases 
iprb "pci8086,27dc"


> i ran - update_drv -a -i "'pci8086,27dc'" iprb
> result=>
> devfsadm: driver failed to attach: iprb
> Warning: Driver (iprb) successfully added to system
> but failed to attach

The quotes are not correct; it is double quotes around the 
pciVVVV,DDDD string, and single quotes on the outside.

Assuming the double quotes version of "pci8086,27dc"
is present in /etc/driver_aliases and the iprb driver
still doesn't attach to the above ethernet device node:
Check with "prtconf -Dv" what "driver name" is listed for
the ethernet device node.  "iprb" would be expected; 
but there have been cases where the wrong driver is 
selected via the subsystem-vendor-id / subsystem-id.
