Linux Newb - Problem with NIC after install.
Hey all.
I have decided to try Linux.
I have just installed Fedora Core 1.
The install went well, and everything is working except for the NIC. The OS sees it, but apon bootup, it's in a state of "inactive". When I try to activate it, I get the following error.
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy. Failed to bring up eth0.
I'm guessing resource conflict. However, being a Linux newb, I have NO IDEA what to do about it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
System
Intel Celeron 466.
256 Megs Ram
Intel 810 chipset
