ifup

[Y2KNET <net@y2knet.net>]

In the old Debian we linked the ip address
to a virtual interface for the vhost like following:

"ifconfig eth0:1 192.55.34.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.55.34.21
 route add -net 192.55.34.0
 route add default gateway 192.55.34.0"

I tried the same thing on 2.2r2 and got the
following error:

"SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
 ignoring unknown interface interfaces."

It looks that it did not accept the virtual interface

Then I tried to run it through   ifup  command
got the same error.

As I know my vhost problem is that
the vhost is not finding the interface.

Need Help and will extremely appreciate.
