The lance driver is available in kernel-image-2.6.8-2-sparc64 package as
sunlance.ko module, located in the directory

/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-sparc64/kernel/drivers/net

You need to add 'sunlance' to /etc/modules or install some hardware 
detecting package, such as discover1 or hotplug to get it loaded upon 
every system boot.
