You can try using qeth_configure to take the NIC offline and bring it back online to see if that helps: If this is a Layer 2 VSWITCH, use the "-l" switch on the command: qeth_configure 0.0.0f10 0.0.0f11 0.0.0f12 0 qeth_configure 0.0.0f10 0.0.0f11 0.0.0f12 1 ifup eth1 Beyond that, is this SP1 system current on maintenance? I don't recall running into this problem, and I've done a lot of dynamic NIC defines and detaches, etc. Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
