You can have more than one mac address on a single physical interface with OpenSolaris but not on any released Solaris version (i.e. 10 and older). However, there is no such thing as Solaris 5.0. What OS release are you actually running (cat /etc/release) and on what hardware ?

If so, what is the syntax?
All replies gratefully received !

csx_releaseconfiguration
csx_ReleaseConfiguration(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers csx_ReleaseConfiguration(9F)
NAME
csx_ReleaseConfiguration - release PC Card and socket configuration
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/pccard.h>
int32_t csx_ReleaseConfiguration(client_handle_t ch, release_config_t *rc);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI Specific (Solaris DDI)
PARAMETERS
ch Client handle returned from csx_RegisterClient(9F).
rc Pointer to a release_config_t structure.
DESCRIPTION
This function returns a PC Card and socket to a simple memory only interface and sets the card to configuration zero by writing a 0 to the
PC card's COR (Configuration Option Register).
Card Services may remove power from the socket if no clients have indicated their usage of the socket by an active csx_RequestConfigura-
tion(9F) or csx_RequestWindow(9F).
Card Services is prohibited from resetting the PC Card and is not required to cycle power through zero(0) volts.
After calling csx_ReleaseConfiguration() any resources requested via the request functions csx_RequestIO(9F), csx_RequestIRQ(9F), or
csx_RequestWindow(9F) that are no longer needed should be returned to Card Services via the corresponding csx_ReleaseIO(9F), csx_Relea-
seIRQ(9F), or csx_ReleaseWindow(9F) functions. csx_ReleaseConfiguration() must be called to release the current card and socket configura-
tion before releasing any resources requested by the driver via the request functions named above.
STRUCTURE MEMBERS
The structure members of release_config_t are:
uint32_t Socket; /* socket number */
The Socket field is not used in Solaris, but for portability with other Card Services implementations, it should be set to the logical
socket number.
RETURN VALUES
CS_SUCCESS Successful operation.
CS_BAD_HANDLE Client handle is invalid or csx_RequestConfiguration(9F) not done.
CS_BAD_SOCKET Error getting or setting socket hardware parameters.
CS_NO_CARD No PC card in socket.
CS_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION No PCMCIA hardware installed.
CONTEXT
This function may be called from user or kernel context.
