Double-check what NIC that has. Intel Sandy Bridge chipset NICs aren't supported yet. The Dell I got last week with an H67 motherboard has a Broadcom chipset NIC (BCM57788) that ... also isn't supported yet. Driver support is an area where I hope Illumos can move faster than Sun/Oracle ever did. So you may need to factor in a supported NIC. I've ordered an Intel gigabit NIC for my box for what looks the going rate here - £25 - the intent is that it is supported by the e1000 driver.
