Error ifconfig ge0 plumb

Hello Folks, can anyone please help me with this ?! Smilie

I'm using Solaris 10 with Sun V880 which has two Networks Interfaces, a Fiber (ge0) and a cooper (eri0).

The eri0 is working great but when I try to plumb the ge0 interface ...

Code:
# ifconfig ge0 plumb
ifconfig: cannot open link "ge0": DLPI link does not exist
# ifconfig ge0 auto-dhcp
Jun 14 17:35:40 itnetmon02 /sbin/dhcpagent[67]: dhcp_dlpi_open: open on `/dev/ge': No such file or directory
ifconfig: ge0: interface does not exist or cannot be managed using DHCP

However if I do ls in /dev I can see the ge

Code:
# ls /dev
