I tried that card as well a while ago, right in an Ultra 5, and it was
not recognized, although the chipset should be supported by the
drivers, that card must have some dlink tweaks that prevents it from
happening.

A Netgear with realtek will work, however I have had several problems
with those cards too, syncing at 100Mbit/s instead of 1000 at boot,
intermittently.

Best third party cards for sparc are Intel Pro/1000. Although none of
the third party cards can be used to boot as they are not seen by the
OPB.

Hope this helps.
