Install drivers Solaris 10 x86
I am trying to figure out a way to install drivers for a network card. I have a 3C905C-TXM 3Com card that appeared to check out on Solaris's Web Site. I found what I thought was a driver, although that may not be the case, because the instructions asked me to copy-and-paste the contents into a text file, which I moved to my PC. The PC is an old Compaq desktop with about 700 Mhz of Processor and 128 Mb of RAM.

Can someone tell me how to install it, or can someone show me a website that might have clear instructions on how to do this?

Never mind, y'all. I found a web page that said something about devfsadm and ifconfig plumb. I followed the directions, and the card is recognized.
