Still need to know.

Further search lead me to,
Bind Multiple IP Addresses to a Single Network Interface Card (NIC)
http://www.xenocafe.com/tutorials/linux/redhat/
bind_multiple_ip_addresses_to_single_nic/index.php
Add an IP address for Non-SUSE distributions
http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/ezproxy/technote/2l.htm
but both need to work on network scripts located in /etc/sysconfig/
network-scripts/, which we don't have in Debian.
Then, I looked into /etc/network/interfaces.examples, and add the
following to my /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0.1
iface eth0.1 inet manual
pre-up vconfig add eth0.1
up ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
address 192.168.0.101
post-down vconfig rem eth0.1
But got this:
% /etc/init.d/networking restart
Reconfiguring network interfaces.../bin/sh: vconfig: not found
Failed to bring up eth0.1.
I need help.
Thanks
