Thank you, I'm using Fedora 12 also. Just as a contribution I made de code more generic (supporting more interfaces and aliases):

#!/bin/bash

iface="$1"
shift

action="$1"
shift

if [ "$action" = "up" ]; then
        for ALIAS in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$iface:*; do
                ALIAS=`echo $ALIAS | cut -d: -f 2`
                /sbin/ifup $iface:$ALIAS
        done
fi

Thank you very much. Even in Fedora 12, this fix still works GREAT. I tried setting up multiple IP aliases with NetworkManager, however they did not work correctly. With your method, you get the real IP alias devices created.

Hey,

Thanks for sharing this tip, it really proves helpful.

Did the same on an Ubuntu system (8.10), just added:

* to /etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255

* your procedure

And it worked

Thanks

Florent
