On my Via C7 system used for rsnapshot backups, (the PC-2500E board), I
ended up disabling the onboard Realtek ethernet and slapping in an Intel
10/100 card, so I didn't have to mess with third-party/experimental drivers
anymore.  This came in handy last weekend when I upgraded from snv_83 to
the "official" Solaris 10 u6.

eepro100 cards are *cheap* - I think I paid $10 on eBay, shipped, for six
of them a few months ago.
