Then go to "Virtual Ethernet Bridge" and you will see a adapter.
Basically you are bridging two HEA adapters for redundancy.
thanks a lot
you know I can continue bothering you with question since I pretty lost in this topic for instance you say SEA makes no sense when having one VIO but my previous partner configured SEA... weird.
any documentation to read and continue after this since now I have to understand more about networking in VIO

EX(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual EX(4)
NAME
ex -- driver for 3Com Fast EtherLink XL (3c900, 3c905, 3c980) and similar PCI bus and cardbus Ethernet interfaces
SYNOPSIS
ex* at cardbus? function ?
ex* at pci? dev ? function ?
DESCRIPTION
3Com Ethernet and Fast Ethernet cards supported by the ex driver include:
3c450-TX 10/100 Ethernet
3c555 MiniPCI 10/100 Ethernet
3c575-TX Ethernet
3c575B-TX Ethernet
3c575CT Ethernet
3c656 MiniPCI 10/100 Ethernet
3c656B MiniPCI 10/100 Ethernet
3c656C MiniPCI 10/100 Ethernet
3c900-TPO Ethernet
3c900-COMBO Ethernet
3c900B-TPC Ethernet
3c900B-TPO Ethernet
3c900B-COMBO Ethernet
3c905-T4 10/100 Ethernet
3c905-TX 10/100 Ethernet
3c905B-COMBO 10/100 Ethernet
3c905B-FX 10/100 Ethernet
3c905B-T4 10/100 Ethernet
3c905B-TX 10/100 Ethernet
3c905CX-TX 10/100 Ethernet
3c980 Server Adapter 10/100 Ethernet
3c980C-TXM 10/100 Ethernet
3cSOHO100-TX 10/100 Ethernet
All versions of the EtherLink XL (except the older 3c900 and 3c905) support IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware. The ex driver supports
this feature of the chip. See ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable this feature.
MEDIA SELECTION
Some of these network interfaces support the Media Independent Interface (MII), a bus which can have at least one arbitrary Physical inter-
face (PHY) chip on it. NetBSD supports MII and has separate drivers for many different PHY chips, including ukphy(4), a generic PHY driver
that can support many PHY chips that NetBSD does not yet have a specific driver for.
Support for the PHY found on a given NIC must be configured into a NetBSD kernel config(1) for this driver to work properly in those cases.
See ifmedia(4), and mii(4).
