Regarding ethernet, you might give a spin to The Free Ethernet drivers for Solaris project (i'm off the net and uncertain about the name now). In particular, they had an alternative realtek (gani vs. stock rge) driver which was better on my notebook. The driver author did not mind if his collection was imported into illumos, and that might be a nice starter project - even if more about packaging than programming.
