as for your specific problem, it's hard to help when all you say is "nothing seems to work" - do you have any logs or error messages?
If the model isn't on solaris HCL , i'd say it has a high probability of not working. You need to understand here that sun aren't aiming to be the fastest operating system that runs on every piece of hardware. Sun sell sparc and x86 machines and as long as it runs on those machines, they're happy. Don't get upset at solaris ... just don't use it as a desktop!
