[Sunhelp] Adding an interface on a qfe card

[Glover, Duke]

Just for clarification.  This is 1 qfe card.  I want to enable port qfe1.

Thanks for all of the great responses.

The hostname.qfe1 is used at boot time, so if you want ot get it up and 
running directly you might have to do a 
ifconfig qfe1 inet <IP adress> broadcast <broadcast adress> netmask +
before doing a ifconfig up.
