The same board also had issues with wired ethernet working reliably. I installed solaris 10 and then opensolaris 2008.05. Both worked well. I installed opensolaris as I wanted newer versions of some software. The hardware is well supported, only gnome is available, flash9 works well, and updating the system and packages is annoying.
