Quick post about getting Broadcom's BCM4401 NIC working on OpenSolaris Nevada b55.

Had just donwloaded it and installed the Developer Edition but there was no driver for the network device.

Anyway, I went to this page, which is where the OpenSolaris' Device Drivers Community keeps their files. Downloaded every version of bfe avaiable, burned them to a transit cd and logged on Nevada. I had tried the 2.4 version first, from another site, but it didn't work. The module wasn't loading for some reason, but 2.3 worked without much effort, just following the readme file.
