Bill,
What is the result of a ... cfgmgr -v ... ? Any error messages that crop
up either there, in errpt, etc.? I'm wondering if there is a method that's
crapping out during the entx creation.

Kevin,
en5 is not in the ODM.
If I run "smitty mktcpip" en5 does not show up in the "Available Ethernet
Interfaces" selection box. en0, en1, etc. are there and et0, et1, ..., et5
are there, but no en5.
Also I get the following error when I run an lsattr:
> lsattr -El en5
lsattr: 0514-519 The following device was not found in the customized
device configuration database:
en5
More specifically, in the /etc/objrepos directory I find entries for en0,
en1, en2, en3, and en4 in three ODM files: CuAt, CuDep, and CuDv, but
nothing for en5.
