Hmm, initially, DHCP didn't work for me
(before I manually set the nge device's MAC).

Yep...
> I was uncertain if you got beyond this point.
Yes. All I had to do was setup a "custom"
MAC address on the nge0 nic. The MAC
that is read from the nic appears to be wrong
(reversed).
Try "ifconfig nge0 inet ether 0:11:11:11:11:11"
and check if you get connectivity after having
set your own mac address.

It is.

I'm not sure I understand this...
The nVidia NIC uses PCI Vendor/Device ID 10de,54c
and this ID is not yet known by opensolaris snv_80.
Things like that happen all the time, the hardware vendors
are changing the pci ids quite often, for a new generation
of hardware.

That would be one of the pci ids recognized as a
realtek gigabit ethernet device. Others are:
# grep "^rge " /etc/driver_aliases
rge "pci10ec,8169"
rge "pci10ec,8110"
rge "pci10ec,8168"
rge "pci10ec,8111"
rge "pci10ec,8167"
rge "pci16ec,0116"
But this new ASUS "M2N-VM DVI" mainboard
has no pci device from vendor realtek:
# prtconf -Dv | grep pci10ec
# prtconf -Dv | grep pci16ec
#
The M2N-VM DVI does have a realtek HD audio codec,
but HD audio codecs are not listed in prtconf output.
And it isn't supported by Solaris' audiohd driver (at this
time):
Dec 20 19:59:41 sarah audiosup: [ID 686142 kern.warning] WARNING: audiohd0:
