Hello, I'm using Debian Potato with linux-2.2.18pre22. This version of Potato uses netatalk (1.4b2+asun2.1.3). Everything works just fine if I have the two interfaces: lo eth0 As soon as I alias eth0 and have the interfaces: lo eth0 eth0:0 eth0:1 eth0:2 netatalk refuses to start and I receive this in syslog: Nov 22 17:01:23 files atalkd[177]: restart (1.4b2+asun2.1.3) Nov 22 17:01:24 files atalkd[177]: zip_getnetinfo for eth0 Nov 22 17:01:25 files atalkd[177]: zip gnireply from 275.241 (eth0 12) Nov 22 17:01:26 files atalkd[177]: zip_packet configured eth0 from 275.241 Nov 22 17:01:26 files atalkd[177]: setifaddr: eth0:0: No such device Nov 22 17:01:26 files atalkd[177]: difaddr(65280.0): No such device Nov 22 17:01:26 files atalkd[177]: difaddr(0.0): No such device Nov 22 17:01:26 files atalkd[177]: difaddr(0.0): No such device Nov 22 17:01:26 files atalkd: difaddr(0.0): No such device Nov 22 17:01:26 files last message repeated 2 times Nov 22 17:01:27 files afpd[180]: main: atp_open: Cannot assign requested address My current work around is: 1. start the interfaces: lo eth0 2. start netatalk 3. create my eth0 aliases. This works fine... but is a little strange.
