Problem with "Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet" on a sunfire V40z with redhat AS4 update 4

I have a problem with "Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet - x4445a" on a SUNFire V40z with redhat AS4 update 4

Redhat doesn't detect the the Quad Ethernet interface.
The onboard interfaces, no problem.
Is there a special driver that I should install/load?

Thanks

Miguel

I've run into the same problem, and haven't been able to find anything indicating that these cards are even supported under RHEL 4 (64 bit).

Here's what shows up in the dmesg log:

Code:

e1000: probe of 0000:22:04.0 failed with error -5

e1000: 0000:22:06.1: e1000_sw_init: Unknown MAC Type
e1000: probe of 0000:22:06.1 failed with error -5

Can anybody confirm any sort of support for this card? drivers, patches, etc.
