Having some trouble with my NICs. The server starts fine and I can wget/ping etc. However, when I /etc/init.d/networking restart
I then receive the following error:
Bringing up interface eth0: bnx2: fw sync timeout, reset code = 1030009
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy
Consequently, the task fails. I have searched around on google users suggesting to disable PNP in the BIOS but I see no option. Here is some system information:
$ ethtool -i eth0

Any help would be appreciated as I am at a loss.
lsmod |grep bcm57
and see if the kernel module is loaded. If not, then you will need to install it. Should be on the install DVD. For some reason the bnx2 driver didn't work for me.
