I found in this page http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Ethernet+Networking
that a Broadcom NIC 5719 is supported with oi 151a7. In that page
you can read "bge 15.4.3". So I assume this is the driver version
from Broadcom wich I downloaded and tried to install. (BRCMbge-
Solaris_11-i386-15.4.3.pkg)
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?
Yes I tried plain vanilla oi 151a7 but the nic is not recognized. In fact in the wiki
page a month before was stated that the broadcom 5719 is not supported and in fact there
is a feature request: https://www.illumos.org/issues/3446 about this. But last week it
appears as supported with the text: "bge 15.4.3" so that's why I tried
installing the broadcom driver.
Was this a Dell server adapter by any chance? if so, the path of least
resistance is to get Dell to swap it for an Intel one
