What kind of NIC? Did you ensure that your hardware is on the HCL?

Not with supported hardware. OpenSolaris, for instance, is lacking
support for some Adaptec HBAs. Solaris and Solaris Express have better
SCSI support.

I thought I was safe with the SCSI controller. I know most/all Linux
flavours
are 100% Adaptec compatible.
I've a second spare PC I may be able to have the best of both worlds
with
the drive form one and the compatible network car from T other :-)

Solaris and Solaris Express are perfectly happy with the Adaptec 29160N
HBA that I'm using in my server box with 5 SCSI drives.

What is the output of "prtconf -pv" for the network card?
