I just ran across this problem as well. I have a PCI bus with a DPT RAID board and a 3COM ethernet board trying to share IRQ 11. There were no software options or hardware jumpers to change the IRQ selection.
To solve the problem, I moved the ethernet board to a different empty slot. TA DA! It now magically uses IRQ 5 and the SIOCSIFFLAGS problem disappeared. -- Jean Pierre On Fri, 23 May 1997, Raul Miller wrote: > [Aside: I think I sent a message about ethernet configuration > with a subject line from an X configuration problem.
