A second issue along these same lines is that doing an ifconfig eth0:1 seems
to turn down all of the existing aliases instead of just 1.
So when I have 3 aliases 1,2, and 3; turning down 1 turns down 2 and 3 as well.
Turning down just 2 or 3 seems to work fine. Only 1 is a problem.
This happens even when af_packet and appletalk are not on. This appears to
be a different bug possibly in ifconfig?
Any ideas?
