problem bringing up eth0

[germ germ <super_code_monkey@yahoo.com>]

I am running 2.2.20 and I have installed the driver
for my NIC but am unable to pull an IP.

I configured /etc/network/interfaces as:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0 lo

'dmsg|grep eth0' shows what NIC and driver are install
and it shows the MAC address.

'ifup -a' returns an error of "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or
resource busy".

'ifconfig -a' is lacking an inet line with IP, mask
and bcast.

Any tips so I can pull an IP?

thank you
