The error just means that you haven't opened the device (dmfe1) associated with the physical interface. To do so, you need to plumb dmfe1 (see man pages for ifconfig). As for the solution your looking for, you first need to answer the question why you're trying to bring up the second interface. Are you going to attach the second interface to a separate subnet/network? If you are, then here's what you'll need to do:
1) plumb the second intrerface
# ifconfig dmfe1 plumb
2) configure the interface
E.g.
# ifconfig dmfe1 192.168.1.101 netmask 255.255.255 broadcast +
3) bring up the interface
# ifconfig dmfe1 up
4) update the appropriate files so that the interface is brought up on reboot. The files are as follows:
/etc/hosts, /etc/hostname.dmfe1, /etc/netmasks
Hope this answers your questions.
