Even if you find one it won't work properly as the one provided in the
kernel doesn't insert.

You have to build from source using the sun.com provided drivers.
They are inside the "Network Share Volume 2.2.0.6 CD, English" ISO.

Attached to this mail is the spec file I wrote. It works for the sun drivers
for ia32 and under SL305. You might have to modify it a little.
