10GE Multithreaded Network Adapter drivers missing?
TheSun Multithreaded 10GbE Networking Card does not have drivers available on Sun's site for either Solaris or Linux.
The user manual is here:
http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/10gigethernet/support.xml
or
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/html/820-0184-10/
Chapter 2 has a URL for the Linux drivers:
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=44eb1efd
The Solaris drivers are supposed to be here:
http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/index.html
Neither link has the drivers specified. Does anyone know where to get the driver packages for this card?

Your drivers link worked.
http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/index.html
The process was convoluted, but I ended up where I needed to be.
I clicked on the product name,
worked my way through the "Support" tab to get to the product documentation,
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/Network_Connectivity/x8_e xp_dl_10gige_fbr_xfp_lprfl/index.html
selected the Release Notes, and found a direct link to ...
http://www.sun.com/download
Then I got to a general page of product choices and selected Networking/Network Connectivity
http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Networking&tab=3&subcat=Netwo rk%20Connectivity
Aahhh ...Finally where we needed to be.
When prompted, I used my login account for the Sun download site.
I accepted the license agreement.
I then downloaded the single 7.7MB zipfile that has drivers for
Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86, RHEL, and SUSE Linux drivers in it.
The same drivers are for that card and for the QGE Ethernet adapter.
I didn't experience any frustrations with the download, once I got to where I needed to be.
Next time, try the A-to-Z product list first.

I have it as a saved bookmark in my browser.
It's often a quicker search.
