I don't know about your other problems, Patrick, but I found recently that
IP Aliasing *does* work in MDK 6.1, but *only* if your network card driver
is compiled into the kernel as a module. I discovered this by accident
recently when I had to reboot my MDK 6.1 box and forgot to type
"newkernel" at the LILO prompt - it loaded the vanilla 2.2.13-22mdk kernel
and my IP aliases came up automatically. I rebooted the machine, using my
self-compiled kernel, and no IP aliases appeared. Note that you will need
to have the "initscripts-4.23-35mdk" RPM installed for this to work.
