-- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26.8 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash After upgrading to lenny from etch I noticed my second netwrok adapter fails to restart when running the /etc/init.d/network script. I have two NICs installed. Both are supported and work correctly. The issue is the following: moya:~# /etc/init.d/networking restart Reconfiguring network interfaces...SIOCSIFHWADDR: Device or resource busy - you may need to down the interface Failed to bring up eth2. done. moya:~# ifdown eth2 ifdown: interface eth2 not configured moya:~# ifconfig eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1b:2f:2f:55:c4 inet addr:216.99.209.41 Bcast:216.99.209.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::21b:2fff:fe2f:55c4/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:396298 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:363764 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:368442888 (351.3 MiB) TX bytes:194444947 (185.4 MiB) Interrupt:18 Base address:0xe800 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:21:20:b0:de inet addr:192.168.1.110 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::219:21ff:fe20:b0de/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:390737 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:464790 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:193791079 (184.8 MiB) TX bytes:468937344 (447.2 MiB) Interrupt:23 Base address:0xd400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:7061 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7061 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:84352449 (80.4 MiB) TX bytes:84352449 (80.4 MiB) moya:cd /etc/network/run moya:/etc/network/run# cat ifstate lo=lo eth1=eth1 I don't know why this occurs but it's really annoying. ----------------------- relevant configuration files -------------- /etc/network/interfaces: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.
