Infrastructure Software

Hi,

I've just put an Intel Pro/1000 Quad port NIC into a DELL running Solaris 8 x86.
I've donwloaded and installed the e1000g driver (INTCGigaE.pkg) from
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Detail_Desc.asp?strState=LIVE&ProductID=983&DwnldID=6150
and ran "reboot -- -r"

The card is detected by the BIOS allright.
Still, once the box comes up it still sees them as iprb NICs (and won't work�)

Is there any required patch/package that I should be aware of?
Solaris 8 07/01 - (kernel is 117351-02)

Thanks in advance
