OI should have a driver built-in for these types of NICs so why do you download another one from Broadcom? Haven't you tried OI's one first? > The installer shows a pair of warning messages, about conflicting > files, but continues and finishes. I installed with root.

I have seen similar problems in the days when OpenSolaris was still alive. As far as I remember I only got problems using another driver downloaded from Broadcom's website so I finally stuck with the one built-in into the system... > To make a test, in the same system I installed Solaris 11 and tried > to install the same driver. As above: Why? Solaris 11 has built-in drivers that should work out-of-the box...
