RE: Assigning a virtual ip address to PCMCIA ethernet card
I can confirm that I have used the virtual interface eth0:0 in the (recent)
past with no problems. This was the reason I was puzzled at having to use
eth0:1 as per Martin's instructions.
In answer to Martin's question, I am using kernel version 2.2.19 on Potato.

this must have changed. back in the early days, eth0:0 was eth0. you
sure you didn't just overwrite your eth0 config?
