or look at /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template
# 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?
Just a thought do you have any wireless cards installed on that machine

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?
Looks fine to me maybe try with Wireless="off"

Any help appreciated. This used to be easy :-( Why has it been broken in 
8.0/8.1??
Because of of iproute2 utils :-)
