Thanks for replying to my call for help, anyway, i've tried issuing 
the command that you suggested and this result was returned:

To be honest, I'm not sure what the significance this information have 
with regards to my problem.  Please do advise. 


the above info indicates the IRQ that is being used by a device
and any conflicts thereunto that will result to:  "...resource busy...."
and it seems like the device is absent (no eth0 !!!)
have you tried loading the kernel module for your NIC??
ie.
           shell> modprobe sis900
before issuing a "ifup" or

   shell> ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.123 up
