I think you mean Solaris 7 (or SunOS 5.7)

The Solaris (Intel Platform Edition) Hardware Compatibility Lists may be
found here:

	<http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/hcl/#S7>

Solaris 7 (Intel Platform Edition) 11/99 Hardware Compatibility List (Last
updated May 2001) 
Solaris 7 (Intel Platform Edition) 8/99 Hardware Compatibility List 
Solaris 7 (Intel Platform Edition) 5/99 Hardware Compatibility List 
Solaris 7 (Intel Platform Edition) 3/99 Hardware Compatibility List  (Last
updated April 1999) 
Solaris 7 (Intel Platform Edition) Hardware Compatibility List (FCS) 

Verify which one you should be using.

According to the latest Solaris 7 HCL at :

<http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/hcl/7/1199/files/c0111.htm#X86HCL-2476

That chipset is supported in the following cards:

EtherExpress PRO/100+ (82558) (PCI) 
EtherExpress PRO/100+ (82558/82559) (PCI) 

Is your card one of them or is is something else with the 82558 chipset?

If your card is not an EtherExpress PRO/100+ that could be your problem.
Consult the HCL and ensure that you have a card that is listed on it.

The HCL lists several different supported models from Cirrus Logic. It also
has this note:

	"Note - The information in the Video Chip column does not guarantee that
video cards made by another manufacturer using the same video device will
work. Only the specific models listed by Vendor, Model, Bus, and Video Chip
have been tested."
