Hello all,

We installed a Sun QuadFast ethernet sbus card on a E4500/Solaris
9/64bit, after a boot -r, we cannot find qfe interfaces to configure!!

grep qfe /etc/path_to_inst finds nothing
and prtconf -v|grep qfe finds nothing either.

Now the surprising thing to me is that :

# prtconf -v|grep hme
         SUNW,hme, instance #0
         SUNW,hme, instance #1
         SUNW,hme, instance #2
         SUNW,hme, instance #3
         SUNW,hme, instance #4

and of course:

# grep hme /etc/path_to_inst
"/sbus@3,0/SUNW,hme@3,8c00000" 0 "hme"
"/sbus@3,0/SUNW,hme@0,8c00000" 1 "hme"
"/sbus@3,0/SUNW,hme@0,8c10000" 2 "hme"
"/sbus@3,0/SUNW,hme@0,8c20000" 3 "hme"
"/sbus@3,0/SUNW,hme@0,8c30000" 4 "hme"

# ifconfig hme1 plumb
# ifconfig hme1 1.2.3.4 up
  and I can snoop this interface, ping it and ping from it no problem.

# ifconfig hme1
hme1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3
         inet 1.2.3.4 netmask ff000000 broadcast 1.255.255.255
         ether 8:0:20:aa:48:18

Why isn't it qfe? Is this a problem?

Thanks mult, I will summerize.

Mohamed~
