- If one needs to change the parameters of a network adapter/interface,
- with smit/chdev, it usually responds that it's busy so you can't.
-
- I know you can use the -P option to commit to the database, then
- shutdown and re-ipl, but is there ANY way one can make such
- devices unbusy? (clean and painless way I mean).
-
- Thankyou.

- (I know in the case of an Ethernet adapter, one can also 'remove' it
- and start from scratch, which is also a bit drastic, though at
- least saves an IPL; I'm not sure if this works with x.25s.)
