Currently installed /etc/conf.d/net contains bogus information regarding aliases. If you try configure your aliases as it suggests, nothing will happen. This patch fix help text. Please verify that it is correct. =) However, this config worked for me. diff -ru rc-scripts-1.4.16-/etc/conf.d/net rc-scripts-1.4.16/etc/conf.d/net --- rc-scripts-1.4.16-/etc/conf.d/net 2002-11-18 12:39:22.000000000 -0700 +++ rc-scripts-1.4.16/etc/conf.d/net 2004-09-01 20:34:30.392947410 -0600 @@ -8,25 +8,19 @@ iface_eth0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" #iface_eth1="207.170.82.202 broadcast 207.0.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0" +# if you like to use network aliases, then you should configure your interfaces +# following way: +#iface_eth0[0]="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" +#iface_eth0[1]="192.168.0.3 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" +#iface_eth0[2]="192.168.0.4 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" +# etc.. + # For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp" # For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth? # #iface_eth0="dhcp" #dhcpcd_eth0="..." -# For adding aliases to a interface -# -#alias_eth0="192.168.0.3 192.168.0.4" - -# NB: The next is only used for aliases. -# -# To add a custom netmask/broadcast address to created aliases, -# uncomment and change accordingly.
