208R and hme0

I have a hme card in the PCI 1 slot. I cannot configure the card. I have tried ifconfig, drvconfig and modinfo without success.

# ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1

inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

eri0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2

inet x.x.x.x netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.252.7.255

ether 0:3:ba:3a:14:73

# modinfo | grep Ether

What gives ?

I know you must have a file /etc/hostname.hme0 and an ip in /etc/host for the card to config at boot/reboot.

But you can also do this live! What am I missing?

You seem to be missing the polite request to the card to 'wake up' ... the <b>ifconfig hme0 plumb</b> - assuming the device is hme0, of course.
