Are you sure you installed a driver matching your hardware ?
What says Code:
/usr/X11/bin/scanpci |

this is the output for /use/X11/bin/scanpci
Code:
pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x2a00 |
Your ethernet card should be supported out of the box with the rge driver.
You wifi one with the iwk one but that one probably only works with OpenSolaris based distributions. |

So do I need to download rge driver?

"Out of the box" meant you are likely to already have it.

I dont think so,when i typed command ifconfig -a it comeup with only lo interface and nothing more else,as per your post if it is bundled with solaris how can i find?

Under Solaris, interfaces only show up if they are plumbed.
Try: Code:
devfsadm -v |
sorry for late reply ,after all I just formatted my system with latest ubuntu distribution and everything works fine as of now,well thanks to all for your tremendous support
