hi,

this is mandrake 8.1, smp kernel (pre-compiled) right after a clean 
install. my eth0 is intel 10\100 on board, that uses eepro100 to load. it 
seems that the module loads ok at boot time, but fails to ifup the device 
:

#ifconfig eth0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy
same happends with ifup eth0 (which is prety much the same)

i cant paste any of the logs here since i cant access that machine from 
the network, but chaecking the logs didnt tell me much about what went 
wrong anyway.

from searching some groups on google, i saw that this was a known bug with 
smp kernel's (same error happened on the same machine with RH7.2 btw..)

i know the device is working, because i did the RH install from ftp using 
it, so this is not a hardware problem.

did any1 see this before, or has any idea about this ?

thanks...
