SUMMARY: Second NIC in sparc 20

Thank you to all that responded. There were too many to respond 
individually.

Most people suggested I reconfigure then plumb the interface. I had done 
that previously, but noticed the mac address was the same for both 
interfaces. I thought I had done something wrong.

hme0:flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 192.168.1.30 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 8:0:20:72:a3:5d
hme1:flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3
        inet 192.168.1.163 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 8:0:20:72:a3:5d
le0:flags=1000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 4
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
        ether 8:0:20:72:a3:5d

One person responded suggesting I change the local-address? obp setting 
to true and reboot.

I did this, but the mac's are still the same. From what I read, I think 
that means the NIC's don't have a hardware address, and the machine will 
default to the system mac address.

I also read that I can use the ifconfig command to set the ether address 
if cards are on the same subnet.

Thanks again, this is a great list!
