Hi kp,
Is that syntax for the workaround correct??? I haven't tested this on
5.x yet but on 4.x I use commands in /etc/network/interfaces all the
time - but they need to be prefixed with a keyword, typically "up".
For example, I use:
auto eth1.16
iface eth1.16 inet static
vlan_raw_device eth1
address 192.168.16.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.16.255
up ip addr add 192.168.16.11/24 brd 192.168.16.255 dev eth1.16
label eth1.16:0
Works fine! The text after the "up" can be any shell command, IIRC.
See http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration for more details.
