My first description of this problem doesn't make any sense to me and
may also mislead others. Well, now I may know the reason.

If I use "shutdown -i 5 -y -g 0" to shutdown the computer, as I always
do, the "numlock" light will be "on" after power-off. So I guess it
means some parts of the computer still have power, e.g., the NIC.
Something wrong in this situation so next time when I power-on the
computer, the NIC won't work. But when I boot to Windows at first, then
reboot to Solaris, the NIC will be re-initiated...

That's just my guess. Resonable?
