My hardware is a Gateway 2000, 3c509 ethernet card, and Debian kernel is
2.0.6 built to include `ip_aliasing'. I see `/proc/net/alias*' files so I
take it the kernel was built correctly.
vtcs-cvs# ifconfig
<snip>
eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:24:C4:11:97
inet addr:134.0.64.126 Bcast:134.0.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
EtherTalk Phase 2 addr:65280/60
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:17403 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:11764 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300
<snip>
We want to add an alias for eth0 to be 136.0.0.1. The error is:
vtcs-cvs# ifconfig eth0:0 136.0.0.1
SIOCSIFADDR: Invalid argument
The NET-2-HOWTO makes it sound sooo easy as does the mini-howto at
http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/mini/IP-Alias.
What are we doing wrong?
