Your onboard network chip seems to be an Attansic L1 gigabit ethernet adaptor. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a Solaris driver available for this. Your best bet is probably to use the NDIS wrapper along with the Windows drivers for this NIC. You can find the NDIS wrapper toolkit for

Jason, Hi Jurgen, On our Thumpers running MySQL, we limit the ARC to 4GB. On systems with less RAM we limit the ARC to 1GB. Ok, on a machine running a database server (and nothing else), that might make sense. On a general purpose box it doesn't make much sense; I'd have to reboot the box
