qeth.8c5944 <bus ID of the qeth device>: The LAN already has a primary Bridge Port

Explanation

A LAN can have multiple secondary Bridge Ports, but only one primary Bridge Port. Configuring the device as a primary Bridge Port failed because another port on the LAN has been configured as the primary Bridge Port.

User response

Find out which operating system instance has configured the primary Bridge Port. Assure that the primary role for this port is withdrawn before trying again to configure your device as the primary Bridge Port. Alternatively, consider configuring your device as a secondary Bridge Port.
