Correct
Help someone, I have a firewall to finish configuring.
http://dinamizm.ath.cx/ethernetproblems.html 8.0 applies to 8.1 also
or look at /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template
# rcnetwork restart Shutting down network interfaces: eth1 done eth0 done Setting up network interfaces: lo done eth0 IP/Netmask: x.x.x.3 / 255.255.255.224 done eth1 IP/Netmask: x.x.x.33 / 255.255.255.224 done eth1:1 ifup-wireless: interface eth1:1 is not available IP/Netmask: y.y.y.17 / 255.255.255.240 # cat ifcfg-eth1:1 BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='y.y.y.31' IPADDR='y.y.y.17' NETMASK='255.255.255.240' NETWORK='y.y.y.16' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='onboot' WIRELESS='no' Any ideas? Why is it calling ifup-wireless? This ip alias works happily if I do: # ifconfig eth1:1 y.y.y.17 netmask 255.255.255.240 up Have I got something wrong in the config file? Any help appreciated. This used to be easy :-( Why has it been broken in 8.0/8.1?? -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc
