Hi,

when i try to bind my network driver with : ifconfig eth0 IP netmask MASK, i get this msg:

SIOCSIFFLAGS : Resource Temporarily Unavailable

May be the I/O ports and/or the IRQ are in use by another device at
the time you do this. ifconfig also sets the device up, so the driver
will try to reserve resources. Isn't this an ISA card bound to IRQ 3
while your COM2 is being used, for example ?
