Why not just use the Realtek card? I have one in an old Sparc box (AXi)

The d-link card is a Gigabit Ethernet card. The realtek card was just a
Fast Ethernet card I had laying around to test out the PCI riser card.
SO it is, but the Realtek Gigabit Ethernet cards also work.

I think the author means his 10/100 Realtek card works, not a gigabit
one:
0 PCI-2 33 1 ethernet-pci10ec,8139.10ec.8139.+realtek 8139 is the fast ethernet model.
anyway...
I too am having very bad luck getting gigabit adapters to work with an
Ultra 5.
According to the Ultra 5 specs at Sun:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/validateUser.do?target=Systems/U5/spec
the PCI interfaces are all 5 volt. What I have been wondering is if
the chipsets
used in these gigabit boards - Marvell 88E8001in the DGE-530T, Realtek
8169S
in the ENLGA-1320 - are limited to 3.3V PCI slots.
The RealTek documentation is kinda cryptic, they claim "3.3V
signaling, 5V
PCI I/O tolerant". I guess that means it works only in 3.3V, but won't
blow up
if you mess things and put it in a 5V slot.

Alas, both D-Link and Marvell offer very poor documentation on their
products (or I am too lazy to search), so I don't know if they are
supposed
to work on 5V or not.
Good luck there, I'll probably just give up running gigabit on the
Ultra 5...
