You must let us know what drivers you're looking or. Before that, check out the HCL (hardware compliant list) from Sun

And in the HCL site, use the Sun Device Detection tool to get information about the required drivers.

BigAdmin HCL: Sun Device Detection Tool

Note also that latest OpenSolaris distribution supports more devices out of the box than Solaris 10.

You don't install that tool, you run it from the browser while running windows, linux, Mac OS/X, FreeBSD or Solaris.

Use

Code:
 
/usr/X11/bin/scanpci

and

Code:
 
prtconf -pv
