I have oi-151a4 running on an Intel D510 (atom) motherboard for a storage server at home, and it has an rge interface. In the days of OpenSolaris there were some problems with the driver which sound similar to your description. I haven't seen those problems since it was openSolaris-133 i think. Certainly not since OpenIndiana.
My driver shows up in `prtconf -v` as: dev_path=/pci@0,0/pci8086,27d0@1c/pci8086,d615@0:rge0 I take it the problem is with the motherboard interface (rge0)? Are there any bios/firmware updates for your machine?
