[Linux-decnet-user] eth0 device busy

[J M <joh...@ya...>]

I get this error when trying /etc/rc.d/init.d/decnet
start:

Starting DECnet: Error setting hw address on eth0:
Device or resource busy


doing this reveals there is no entry, so I don't know
if it matters:

cat /proc/sys/net/decnet/default_device
(gives nothing)

doing echo -n "eth0" >
/proc/sys/net/decnet/default_device

does not update the file.  Doint the echo -n to
node_name, node_address, does work.  It just wont
change the default_device file, but as I said above, I
don't know if it matters, because when running the
startup script, it mentions eth0 anyway.  It just says
it is busy.  Thanks for any guidance.
