Some body help me!
Today I installed Solaris10 on my pc.And i met a problem unexpected.
Solaris didn't identify my network card.I think a driver should be 
installed,but i can't find it anywhere even on the Broadcom's website.
.............
someone please show me the way!!

You didn't identify your network card either.

I don't think anyone can tell you which driver to install or where to 
find it without knowing what network card you have!

Have you tried adding the Solaris driver on this page?
http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtreme_server.php

The vendor & device ids seem to match.

 From 
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/hwdata/pci.ids
14e4  Broadcom Corporation		<- vendor id
....
   167e  NetXtreme BCM5751F Fast Ethernet PCI Express    <- device id
....

and from the broadcom supplied file BRCMbcme.pkg in sol86-10.0.3.zip
devices="pci14e4,1     pci14e4,2     pci14e4,3     pci14e4,5
....
          pci14e4,167d  *pci14e4,167e*  pci14e4,1658  pci14e4,1659
....

This should install the bcme driver.

Relevant information is better placed in the BODY of the message.
I didn't even look at the subject line!
