Every now-n-then my eth0 will hang....I will then do a ifconfig eth0 down, followed by a ifconfig eth0 up to bring it back up.... I get:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy
Is there a step I'm missing to reboot the eth0 or connection? or am I using the wrong command for this problem....
It looks the driver was not deactiveted correctly. Run cat /proc/modules after using down and look if the driver is still there. If it is, run rmmod name, then try to restart it by ifconfig.
