From my brief experience with Solaris Intel (6 months so far) I have learned that you best make sure the network card is supported by Solaris Intel:

I have found that the 3Com 3C509B NIC is recognized by Solaris no problem, anything newer from 3Com seems to cause trouble.

After adding hardware you do a "boot -r" to have the OS look for and configure new hardware.

After that, depending on your needs (routers, IP addresses, etc...) you may have to set up other items as well.

better tell us what sor or kind of NIC u r using and the brand u r using and kindly go thro the the HardWare Compatibility list from the sun.com for the the OS u r using towards the Platform like Sparc/Intel
fine then do be in touch
