I meant to add--this looks like ("alread exists") the SMF doesn't want
to change the config b/c it already has hme1 in it's running config.
There's probably some arcane method of changing the running settings,
or maybe we are making it too difficult?  Have you tried just using
"ifconfig"?

If you can use ifconfig, he downside is that you won't know if your
config settings are correct until you reboot the box.
