Solaris 10 not recognizing my NIC

I have a basic Linsys NC100 (v2.0) network card and according to Sun's website it is compatible with Solaris. I have Solaris 10 x86 installed and it is insisting that it is disconnected even though it isn't (I'm using it right now with Windows XP). When I do a ifconfig command it shows the card with a net address of all zeros.
I've tried to find a Solaris driver for the card but I haven't had any luck. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks!

Unless you want to write a driver for your NIC card, your best bet would be to use a card listed in the hardware compatability list.
