Error when adding eth1

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.
