it certainly appears that the driver must be downloaded and added to the
OS.
You would be much better advised to pick up one or more Intel Pro 100B
NICs on ebay.com. The driver is part of the OS and they can be bought at
ridiculously low prices. The last batch of 5 of these NICs I bought cost
me $0.99 + $10.00 shipping.
I used a Linksys NIC on Solaris 10, but I had downloaded the drivers
from http://sol-enet.sourceforge.net/ to get it to work. I've already
contacted the author to inform him that his drivers also worked on
Solaris 10. It was refreshingly easy to get them to work.
My instructions are here:

Good luck.
