ifconfig alias problems

[Remko Lodder]

Well on my 5.2.1 it does not have a broadcast and it works
ifconfig_em0="inet etc"
ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet etc netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_em0_alias1="inet etc netmask 0xffffffff"

Aren't there any errors in your syslog or something?
did you verify that you have a ifconfig_sis0 statement
before the aliases? Isn't there an error on screen
when booting up etc..

Cheers

I believe that would work, but looking at my 5.2.1, I see a broadcast
address, you can try adding 'broadcast x.x.x.x' to the end. Also, mine
are using 255.255.255.255.
