Can't get eth0:0 subinterface



Greetings:

I'm a current Redhat user _trying_ to switch to debian.  More under the hood
differences than I expected :-(

I need to add a static IP subintrface on eth0.  I used to just add a file in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts corresponding to the new intrface and reboot.
No problem

Now, I cant ge the d^%# thing to work.  I edited /etc/network/interfaces and
added the requisite section for the new interfaces:

iface eth0:0 inet static
        address ...etc....

But when I do a ifup/down, ifconfig still shows no subinterface.ipup -a give
me a list of SIOCSxxxxx No such device errors

What does one have to do to add a sub interface?  This is a freshly
installed and updated Woody system.  This was the first settign I tried to
change.  PITB.

Thanks very much for the time to help,
Scott
