OK - After doing some more looking around - I'm not sure if I made any
progress. I logged into ftp.sonicwall.com/pub/drivers/NICS and got the
sparc64 file for p430u. Tried to install:

bash-2.03# pkgadd -d sparc64/

The following packages are available:
  1 phbslink Phobos PhobosLink Trunking(Port Aggregation)
Software
                  (sparc) 1.0
  2 phbsp430 Phobos P430 Adapter Driver for 32 bit PCI QuadPort
10/100Baser
                  (sparc) 1.0

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: 2
