You probably need to include a media type on your ifconfig. There are
choices (from man ep) such as 

     AUI/DIX               Standard 15 pin connector

     10Base2               BNC, also known as thin-net

     10BaseT               UTP, also known as twisted pair

and you need to define which one is your connector.
