once i had something similar, and i think u should try to load it as a module instead from the kernel, and also when u load it, u have choices u can add for the hardware settings and duplex speeds. check the eepro100 source code and see what parameters u can add.
another solution, is to search for the developer site in the sources or the internet and get an updated version and compile it as a module. * - * - * Tzahi Fadida [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax (+1 Outside the US) 240-597-3213 * - * - * - * - * - * -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tal Amir Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 11:20 AM To: the linux-il mailing list Subject: siocsifflags error 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... -- ------------------------------ amir tal, system administrator icq : 15748705 http://www.whatsup.co.il ------------------------------ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
