It worked perfectly fine for me. So definitely the version in Stable Wheezy 7 handles this above case fine. However ifconfig does not know about the secondary specification. Because it isn't given a label. "ip addr show" will display it but it will be invisible to "ifconfig". That is fine if you have transitioned to using the newer "ip" command always. I still prefer to give them explicit labels using the up/down commands. It is fine either way. But then it still interacts okay with ifconfig. A matter of preference. Bob
