Just wondering : is it bug feature or just a joke ? :) :

(strip from ifconfig -a)

eth0:0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:48:EE:60:19
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
eth0:1 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:48:EE:60:19
RX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
eth0:2 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:48:EE:60:19
RX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
eth0:3 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:48:EE:60:19
RX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0

and so on. Why RX on aliased is equal to alias number ? :)

Kernel is 2.0.33 ( no any patches applied )

Bye.
