[ECOS] Error when adding eth1

[ECOS] Error when adding eth1

[Colin Ford]

Hello All,

I've been trying to create a bridge using two ethernet
ports, eth0 and eth1. Eth0 gets its IP address and 
configuration from a DHCP server where Eth1 has
it set statically using the net.cdl. Eth0 gets set correctly
but eth1 errors with:

SIOCIFADDR 2: File exists

The error originates from the file boot_support.c at line
449 from the code snipit:

       // Must do this again so that [sub]netmask (and so default route)
       // is taken notice of.
       addrp->sin_addr = bp->bp_yiaddr;  // The address BOOTP gave us
       if (ioctl(s, SIOCSIFADDR, &ifr)) {
            perror("SIOCIFADDR 2");
            return false;
       }

I can't see why this should fail? It seems to
do this twice in init_net and it works the first
time.

Can anyone help with this?

Many thanks,
Col.
