	Hi  Mr.Babu..

	Just check  with this & let me know if ur problrm solved..

	Q. How do I get Solaris to recognize a NE2000 compatible NIC card?

	NEI is the driver name for the Novell/Eagle 2000-compatible family
of NIC cards.
	The driver is disabled by default because probing for it
	causes problems with other cards (it sometimes locks the system up).
So, you have
	to modify file /kernel/drv/nei.conf to include I/O ranges,
	interrupts. For example:

	name="nei" parent="isa" reg=0x1,0xf600,0x1f interrupts=11 ;

	Where name, "nei," is what will show up in /dev. The parent, "isa, "
is what bus
	type to use. The term ISA is misleading as it includes PCI
	bus. To Solaris, it's either sysbus, the SPARC system bus, or isa,
meaning
	anything that's not SPARC sysbus. The "0x1" is a flag meaning
	that I'm going to specify I/O port ranges, rather than memory
offsets, 0xf600
	indicates the beginning I/O address, in hex and 0x1f is the
	offset of I/O range, from the beginning, in hex. The "interrupts=11"
indicate IRQ
	11, in decimal. Thus, I have a Realtek 8029 PCI
	NE2000-compatible card, set to base I/O addresses 0xf600-0xf61f, IRQ
11.

	You also have to add a /etc/hostname.nei0 file with the IP address
and hostname.
	Also add the line to /etc/hosts. For example:

	10.1.1.1        foo.bar.com

	Next, as root, type "touch /reconfigure; reboot" After rebooting,
type "ifconfig
	nei0 plumb" to make sure the device was recognized.
	It should show up in the output from typing "prtconf". If this card
is "Plug and
	Play," you should disable it and configure the card manually, if
	possible
