Sun has released (9/2000) a free network driver porting kit to port Linux PCI-based network drivers to Solaris x86. The kit includes, as examples, ported Linux drivers for the Intel EEPro100 and the Digital “Tulip” 2104x/2114x chip (a reliable chip used by the Netgear FA-310-TX, SMC EtherPower, Kingston EtherX, D-Link DFE, and other lower-cost cards) For legal reasons (the Linux driver authors complained about use of these drivers in a commercial Product–Solaris), this kit was pulled and is no longer available.
