Hi,
I have a H80 running AIX 4.3.3. We have two NICs on
this system. One was for public(en0) and the other is
for private access(en1). Today I modified the private
NIC's media speed from Auto_Negoiation to 100 Mbps
Full Duplex. I ifconfig 'shut' and 'detached' en1 and
modified its speed. I then ifconfig en1 up. However,
ifconfig -a showed en1 no longer having its ip address
and I could not ping other systems on the PrivateNet.
In the past, if I rebooted the system after the
modification, the NIC would work again.

Is there any way I can get this NIC to work without
rebooting the system?

TIA
