Write one.  That's what I'm currently doing.  There are currently no cheap
solutions for 10/100 ethernet cards on Solaris/SPARC.

If 10 megabit ethernet is sufficient for your needs then Sun provides a
sample driver for PCI based AM79C970 cards in the DDK.  It's not perfect
but it does work.

This is IMHO the largest deficiency in the PCI SPARC driver lineup.
At least some commodity SCSI and video cards are already supported.
