Martin, sorry but this is a bug and needs to be addressed. My fix for
ipv6 doesn't solve this specific issue.
There are multiple problems here. one n-m that doesn't know how to cope
with alias interfaces. two the kernel brings down the alias interfaces
when shutting down the main one (that's what triggers n-m to remove
everything basically).
The kernel "issue" is a well known and wanted behaviour.
NM needs to grow a patch similar to the ipv6 one in order to track
nextsamealias and ignore the main interface if the pointer is non null
in the list.
Fabio
PS alias interfaces are common and support. we support the kernel and we
do support ifupdown and they work just fine here.
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => Confirmed

ifup fails to bring up alias interfaces like eth0:10
