I disabled netplug for both interfaces, and that got rid of the error
message:
# /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Bringing up interface eth1
* 10.0.0.1/8 ... [ ok ]
* 192.168.250.1/24 ... [ ok ]
Now I can ping addresses in the 192.168.250/24 subnet. However, I
still don't see eth1:1 in netstat output the way that I do when I
manually configure it. According TFM, eth1:1 should have been created
for the second address. What gives?
How do you see the second IP address that's configured for an
interface if ifconfig won't show it to you?
