You need to look the specific messages to see if the card and driver are
operating, look into /var/log/messages, at the last boot messages.

If the card is operating under Solaris then you probably did not configure it
when you installed the operating system.  See if /etc/hostname.* exist, the
last
part of the file name should be rtls0 (or something similar) if the driver
was
configured.

Report back with detail if you find something with the above checks.
