Having the second Lan adapter show up

I have a Sunfire V100 which has 2 ethernet ports in the back but
currently I can only see one of them.

If I do an ifconfig -a

--------------------------
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
dmfe0: flags=1004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4> mtu 1500
index 2
        inet 10.0.64.10 netmask ffffc000 broadcast 10.0.127.255
        ether 0:3:ba:19:1:1b
--------------------------

if I do a prtconf | grep eth

--------------------------
ethernet, instance #0
ethernet, instance #1
--------------------------

How do I go about getting the system to see the second Ethernet adapter?
I've tried doing an ifconfig dfme up and ifconfig dfme1 up but they both
give me this type of error "ifconfig: SIOCGLIFNETMASK: dfme: no such
interface"

Any help is appreciated and summarized.

Thank you,

Lex
