It's preferable that this be controlled by the suse init scripts rather than ad-hoc commands, for manageability sake. Just go to yast->network devices-> and select the interface of interest. For that interface, go to advanced->additional addresses and enter IPs at will, even disjoint subnets - they are all added with no problem, and they *do* show up in the ifconfig output. As one poster mentioned, look at the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx file to see the format of the additional IPs - it's fairly straightforward.
