IP_ALIAS (kernel 2.2.1)

[Oz Dror <dror@earthlink.net>]

Hi

I amgoing to have SDSL connected to my private network (192.168.0.x)
I have 3com (3905b Net card). I would like to connect the SDSL to my local
ethernet HUb. I will be assigned a fixe IP to comunicate with the world.

I compiled the kernel to support IP aliasing so that I could use the same
ethernet card for the local network and the Global network having different
IP for each network.

But when I type 
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255

I get the following error
SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not supported by device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: Operation not supported by device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Operation not supported by device
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not supported by device

When I type 
ifconfig eth0:0

I get
eth0:0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:5A:26:04:F1  
          unspec addr:[NONE SET]  Bcast:[NONE SET]  Mask:[NONE SET]
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          Collisions:0 
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0xa800 

this tels me that the card is recognized.



Thanks
