Sun sells two I'm familiar with. Both have work without problems for me.
Checkout http://www.sun.com/sunexpress for information on SunSwift (X1018A),
SunFastEthernet (X1059A) and Sun Quad FastEthernet (X1042A) cards.
Certain cards are only supported after certain system releases, so you will need
to check the site.
SunSwift: 10/100Base-T (HME) with Fast/Wide/Single-ended SCSI Interface
SunFastEthernet: 10/100Base-T (HME) with Media Independent Interface (MII)
Sun Quad FastEthernet: Four 10/100Base-T interfaces on one SBus card.

Well, i am using ConServer-1018 from Antares on an ULTRA Enterprise 2.
This is a SCSI-FWS host adapter with 100Base-TX ethernet.
It's working. I don't know how good this card is, but there are Sun chips
on board. Price in germany is nearly the same as the same products from Sun.

We have just bought a SUN X1018A 100BaseT adapter which includes a wide
SCSI connection from SUNEXPRESS, cost about £800. A bit pricey maybe but
recommended.
-----
The newer revisions of Sun's boards seem to work well, price is about $700
for a single port board, about $1500 for a 4 port board.
