Solaris 9 on x86- Can't detect network interface

Hi All,

I recently installed Solaris 9 on my Compaq Presario V2000 Series (V2069CL) laptop. Everything is working fine except that Solaris is not able to detect the Network Interface after boot.

While the system is booting, it shows that it has detected "Xircom Pocket Ethernet parallel port card" and I look in the master database and found that the device name for this interface is "pe" but there is no such device called 'pe" inside my device directory. I even tried plumbing the interface but it still cant detect my ethernet card. Am i doing something wrong? Are there any special device drivers I need to install? I hope someone replies. Even the command prtconf -D doesnot show the network device.
