Gigabit NIC for Sun Blade 100?

Hello,
I've been doing some Googles but can't seem to find the definitive answer:
Could anybody recommend an (if possible) off-the-shell PCI gigabit NIC that would work on Solaris 9 in a Sun Blade 100?
I could be talked into upgrading to Solaris 10, if needs be, for a working driver.
My old SB 100 is an old work-horse that I still happily use as my Samba /file server for my home network to this day. I'm not ready to get rid of it just yet, as it is the most stable system in the place (no other box here manages an entire year uptime!). :)
I'm upgrading my SOHO to gigabit speed and want to extend the old girl's life-time. I've seen some original-Sun ones that even now go for significantly more than I'd want to spend (US$250+???), but no info on whether some average Linksys, SMC, Intel etc card would work too.
Even if it doesn't manage full GB performance, I just need a bit of a boost before the lady goes to the big recycler in the sky a few years out.
Thanks in advance for any pointers!
Mike
