Good. The driver has attached to your network interface. The simplest way to 
configure your network interface is to use the command

sys-unconfig

The down side is that this command will also wipe out some of the basic 
configuration details on your system - the answers to the questions you were 
asked at install time (and some you weren't since the new installer doesn't yet 
ask them.

If there is a DHCP server available on your network, then a reboot should give 
you network connectivity. I would not expect this to work on your system 
though, since the network interface should already have been plumbed before you 
rn the "ifconfig -a plumb" command, so DHCP would already have attempted to 
configure the interface.

To manually set up your network interface using the GNOME GUI, you first need 
to disable NWAM (NetWork Auto Magic - see 
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/nwam/), and enable the "normal" network 
service as follows:

svcadm disable network/physical:nwam
svcadm enable network/physical:default

I would also reboot once you have done this before attempting to use the GNOME 
GUI tool. You will need the following information to configure your network 
interface:

An IP address to give the computer
The address of your default gateway, e.g. your broadband router
The address of at least one valid DNS server. Usually you can set this to the 
IP address of your broadband router, if you have such a thing
A hostname to give your computer (which should already be set anyway)
A domain name on which your computer should be listed. I set this to my 
broadband provider's domain name.

If the GNOME GUI fails to configure your network interface then post back here 
and I can give you the instructions for manually configuring the card, which is 
the method I use.

Cheers

Andrew.
