I have an ethernet interface, described as follows...

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:F8:08:44:59  
          inet addr:192.168.2.152  Bcast:192.168.2.255 
Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:6 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:6
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:9 Base address:0x6500 

But I wan't to have it as a point-to-point interface 192.168.1.153

But neither net-tools 1.45 nor 1.52 work... The command I'm
trying is:

ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.152 pointopoint 192.168.1.153 netmask
255.255.255.255

I've tried with and without the netmask, also tried various
combinations with dstaddr... No effect.

strace shows that it is making the right ioctls() and my ppp
interfaces are correctly point-to-point.

(BTW, is there a way to make strace expand the arguments to 
an ioctl?)

Any ideas??
