Wrench Can't setup new interface.

Hi all,
Currently I am running Solaris 10 update 10 machine.
My current ifconfig -a output is:
Code:
ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 
bge0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 5
        inet 172.21.16.65 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.21.16.255
        ether 0:14:4f:a1:5d:9c

Code:
dladm show-dev
bge0            link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
bge1            link: unknown   speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: unknown
bge2            link: unknown   speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: unknown
bge3            link: unknown   speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full

I want to setup a new IP of a different subnet on bge3. bge0 is already configured and I am using ssh on it to connect remotely.

First I did a:
Code:
ifconfig bge3 plumb

Then my ifconfig -a output became :
Code:
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 
bge0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 5
        inet 172.21.16.65 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.21.16.255
        ether 0:14:4f:a1:5d:9c 
bge3: flags=1000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 9
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0 
        ether 0:14:4f:a1:5d:9f

Next when I do a ;
Code:
ifconfig bge3 172.21.6.130 netmask + 255.255.255.0 up

It gives me an error:
Code:
ifconfig: setifdstaddr: SIOCSLIFDSTADDR: bge3: Cannot assign requested address

What is wrong ? How can I fix it ?

NAME
ipw -- Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 IEEE 802.11 driver SYNOPSIS
ipw* at pci? dev ? function ? DESCRIPTION
The ipw driver provides support for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 MiniPCI network adapter. The Intel firmware requires acceptance of the End User License Agreement. The full license text can be found in /lib- data/firmware/if_ipw/LICENSE. The license is agreed to by setting the sysctl variable hw.ipw.accept_eula to 1. By default, the ipw driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode). This mode requires the use of an access point. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). EXAMPLES
Join an existing BSS network (i.e.: connect to an access point): ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 Join a specific BSS network with network name ``my_net'': ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net Join a specific BSS network with 64 bits WEP encryption: ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net nwkey 0x1234567890 Join a specific BSS network with 128bits WEP encryption: ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net nwkey 0x01020304050607080910111213 DIAGNOSTICS
ipw%d: device timeout The driver will reset the hardware. This should not happen. SEE ALSO
