The obvious reason is you are running Solaris 10 while the link is about Solaris 11, only with which arbitrary interface renaming is possible.

With Solaris 10, the interface prefix is always the one of the underlying driver. The suffix reflects the order of interface detection by the OS and stays that way unless reset.

To reset this ordering, the simplest and more secure way is probably to remove both NICs and clear the device mapping (devfsadm -c), then install the first card you want to be named igb0, reboot, run devfsadm and finally repeat the operation with the second card.
