Hi all,

I am having some problems and am not sure if I understand what's going on.
Had network configuration problem with 5.3 release on Sparc Ultra 2. It has
on-board hme, and qfe card. Was not able to use qfe ports... kept getting
ipv6 duplicate address errors (i only use ipv4, mind you).

I just installed (from scratch) 5.4 release. and i seem to have the same 
problem, only this time it starts when i config the first hme network port.

Any ideas?
I'd really like to be able to use the other (qfe) network ports.

Any ideas appreciated.

thanks.
-jacques brierre.
