Solaris unable to detect the network card

I have OptiPlex XE2 machine which has Integrated Intel® I217LM Ethernet LAN 10/100/1000 interface. When I am trying to install Solaris 10U11 during the installation it dint ask for networking configuration. I installed the OS and found that Solaris dont show any interface through ifconfig -a plumb. What driver do I need for this to work?

I ran dladm show-dev and it showed nothing.
Here is the output for prtconf -pv:

Illumos has drivers for the i217. See if you can migrate to OmniOS, which has the driver you need.
