Then I guess you're the innocent victim of that bug : http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6807184 Two solutions : 1) replace the rge driver with the gani one. It's a third-party driver available here : http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ Be advised that it's definitely not a simple process. 2) buy a separate network controller from another manufacturer which driver works reliably. Personally, I've tried the first solution a few times, but as I couldn't find a clear and simple tutorial, and as my attempts weren't successful, I ended up buying an Intel network controller which uses the e1000g driver, and the problem disappeared. Good luck, Laurent.
