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 :-)
Yes. But IMHO "upgrades" should not lose functionality :-) No I don't have any wireless cards in the box. Don't even have the wireless package installed (Nor should I need to I would hope) # rpm -qa|grep wire After closer inspection, it seems that the alias interface is actually being brought up, but it is still spitting out this error message. eth1:1 ifup-wireless: interface eth1:1 is not available Can someone from SuSE tell me how to make this go away? I hate needless error messages :-) PS. Togan, feel lke having lunch? Cheers -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc
