I was able to set the address of my node fairly easily, but when it came
to enabling an ethernet interface, I haven't had any luck yet.  I have
tried:

./tipc-config  -be=eth1

But get:
Command rejected, check syntax

I had assumed that I just use the net device name like with the insmod. 
Am I doing something obviously wrong?

Thanks,
Mark.
