According to this entry in the Sun HCL:

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/components/details/152.html

The AHA-2940UW SCSI controller is reported to work on Solaris 10, Solaris 
Express, and OpenSolaris 2008.05 although the entry also says this is using the 
driver supplied as part of Solaris 9 04/03.

The card seems to use the "adp" driver which looks like it is closed source. If 
you install the latest build of Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) this 
card will almost certainly work fine without you needing to go hunting for a 
driver - I've got build 95 sitting on my machine and it has that driver and the 
relevant entries in /etc/driver_aliases to make it work.

If you really want to get OpenSolaris working on your system, install SXCE 
first, then copy the driver and its conf file (if any) onto a USB stick, along 
with the relevant entries in /etc/driver_aliases . Once you've done that you 
can boot the OpenSolaris live CD, copy the driver off the USB key and add the 
relevant entries to /etc/driver_aliases using the add_drv command. Note the 
easiest thing I know. You may want to just give SXCE a spin - it's not as 
bleeding edge as OpenSolaris, but it is a decent system.

See here for NIC drivers:
