If you want to get your Broadcom NIC to work have a look at:
Solaris on x86 - Dell Inspiron + Broadcom 440x Integrated nic + Solaris 10 x86 = no network?

or download the driver from:
Broadcom Network Driver Download -- Open Drivers Download Service

If you want to buy another NIC, please make sure that it is supported by Solaris Solaris OS: Hardware Compatibility Lists
