This obviously isn't fixing the real problem, but as you seem to have control of the hardware, it should be easy for you to insert "ifconfig eth0 down;ifconfig eth0 up" in /sbin/ifup-local on Red Hat boxes or /etc/network/interfaces on Debian boxes or similar, unless you are shipping the hardware without software. It would really be nice to track down what is causing this problem, though, so perhaps you should keep trying. :) Simon- [ Simon Kirby ][ Network Operations ] [ sim@netnation.com ][ NetNation Communications Inc. ] [ Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of my employer. ] - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
