Do you have the driver installed?  (i.e. "pkginfo | grep -i rtls" returns the
name of the package, you can see more detail with "pkginfo -l SUNWrtls".)

If the driver is installed then all you need is to create /etc/hostname.rtls0,
inside in one line should be the host name or IP address (host name if
/etc/hosts has the IP), also check /etc/netmasks (read the comments to configure
.)  Then reboot.

If after rebooting the driver still doesn't work, and there are no interesting
messages at /var/adm/messages then maybe an older driver could be tested.  At
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?lineid=1&famid=3&series=16&Software=True
there are two drivers for Solaris, none is version 2.1.2, they are older.
