Bug#329284: linux-2.6: Failed to bring up eth1.
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.12-6
Severity: important
When trying to bring up a firewire interface on a G5 running a
2.6.12-1-powerpc64 (well, a fixed one, see 323724), i get the following
message:
$ ifup eth1
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable
Failed to bring up eth1.
$ tail -n1 /var/log/syslog
Sep 20 23:08:35 localhost kernel: eth1394: eth1: Could not allocate isochronous receive context for the broadcast channel
$ ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-0A-95-FF-FE-BE-FE-28-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:10.11.12.36 Bcast:10.11.12.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
i have the following in /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 10.11.12.36
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.11.12.255o
the same configuration works nicely on an ibook running 2.6.12-1-powerpc.
i can reproduce the bug on 2.6.11-power4-smp.
cheers, piem
