I had the exact same problem. (I could never get the gld3 driver to work, although some others from this same page have worked for me)
I finally got it working by doing the following: went to this guy's page here: http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ There you will find 2 potential drivers for vfe: download the PRE-gld3 driver (the one with version number earlier than 2.3.0). >From there on, I just followed sun's page >http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/via_rhine_nic.html There's a catch! in this article the driver's name was still rh0, this time you will have to work with vfe0 because at some point the driver was renamed. So basically after getting your driver in compressed form or whatever you eventually put it in /tmp or something and extract the contents to a directory, from there: 1.- -switch to the directory where you just extracted the driver binaries 2.- /usr/ccs/bin/make install 3.- ./adddrv.sh 4.- devfsadm -i vfe 5.- ifconfig vfe0 plumb (at this point, doing "ifconfig -a" should show your nic as vfe0 ) 6.- ifconfig vfe0 inet (your ip here) 7.- ifconfig vfe0 up 8.- route add default (your default gateway's ip here) 9.- ping your gateway then do ifconfig -a and you should see it there. that's it. Just follow suns bigadmin thread that talks about how to setup permanent routes, define your persistent ip etc... P.S. in case you get a "network unreachable" message when trying to add routes, it may be that you need to run "ifconfig vfe0 up" before trying the "route add default (some ip here)" command. In that case, edit the file /lib/svc/method/net-physical so that you do a "ifconfig vfe0 up" just before it starts issuing the "route add default" command in the add defaultrouter routine.
