Try "iprb0" instead, or "ifconfig -a plumb".  "iprb" isn't a valid IP
interface name.

A sunsolve search on that PCI ID number reveals the missing driver
alias entry to be CR 6508679.  Could you contact one of the folks
listed in the CR and see if your system could be used to "certify" or
otherwise do whatever's necessary to get the ID listed properly?

(I sure wish it were easier to get known-working hardware added to the
standard ID list.  :-<)
