Re: What is SIOCSIFFLAGS, and when will he be back?
I have a Linksys LNE100TX, also tulip driver, and get the same error if
I reboot from Windows into Linux. Problem is fixed if I start Linux from
a cold boot as opposed to restarting from windows. Have you tried this?

1. Start "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss on your CD player.
2. At the climax of the "Sunrise" section -- just before the cymbal crash
on the C-major chord -- try to ping the first machine by IP address.
3. If it works... congratulations! Your intranet is now up and running.
