One of my servers has a lot of IP aliases on eth0 so I thought it

indicate iproute2 is the default in that case). Upon reboot, the
startup scripts showed the IP aliases being added and each said [ok]
but they did not appear to be added at all. Did I do something wrong
or is iproute2 not the right tool for the job? I switched back to
ifconfig and the startup scripts work fine.
They're added, but they don't show up in the 'ifconfig' output. You'll
see them all if you run 'ip addr'.
Also, each IP took a few seconds to add (this machine has 260 IPs!) -
as you can imagine it took about 15 minutes to add all the IPs before
the rest of the boot process could continue. Is there any way to
speed this up? Maybe forego the "arping" check for every single IP
added?
modules_eth0=( "!arping" )
Final problem: I tried to force full-duplex on eth0 by using ethtool
in the preup() function in /etc/conf.d/net. But now Im seeing errors
like this on my console:
Why are you forcing it? The fact that you need to force it tells me
that there's something else wrong.
There is something wrong, look at the thread he started above this
labeled 100Mbit FD :)
