Intel EtherExpress Pro problems

[David Khoury <dave@flex.com.au>]

  Just installed Debian Hamm on a machine with an Intel N440BX Server
board.  This board comes with a Intel EtherExpress Pro (82558) ethernet
adapter.

  Inserting the "eepro100" module seems to work OK, but trying to assign an
IP address to it with ifconfig just gives the following error:

"SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable"

  Anyone got any ideas??
