Default Solaris 10 NIC support

From the web I found that HCL says that Realtek 8139 NIC is now built in the Solaris 10 kernel and doesn't need any external driver. However, my D-Link 530TX NIC doesn't seem to give me any "rtls" in "dmesg". From solaris-x86.org I found a tutorial that says download external rtls driver from Realtek and I did that. After running "sh Install", it says installation successful but devfsadm failed. After reboot still no luck, I don't see any rtls in ifconfig or dmesg. Furthermore, I'm worried that since the driver only claims to support Solaris 9, would it corrupt my system, if so how do I re-overwrite it with the correct driver, if any? All I need is to bring up the NIC so that I can talk to a ADSL modem, thank you.
