Mike:

What problems are you having? There's a bug in 9 that doesn't allow it
to recognize FDDI cards properly. The workaround (from Sun) is to add
the following line into the /etc/system file:

set sunddi_netifname_constraints=0

Let me know if this fixes the problem, or if there's some other problem,
as I don't recall what version of the drivers I'm using.
