Re: Assigning a virtual ip address to PCMCIA ethernet card



Hello.

Are you sure your kernel has IP aliasing support (CONFIG_IP_ALIAS)?

After reading last posts on this thread I got the feeling that you don't
have that option - recompile or boot a different kernel (IMHO prepackaged
kernels do have IP aliasing).

BTW eth0:0 is OK, ie. eth0 and eth0:0 are not the same (after
/usr/src/(linux or kernel-whatever)/Documentation/networking/alias.txt).

Regards,

Adam
