Hello All again,

The alias interface in this new iproute2 system deosn't work as it use to
work with ifconfig. Typically, when you aliased an interface wiht ifconfig
the aliased interface would behave exactly like a phyiscal interface and
would respond to all interface commands.

This seems to be not true in iproute2. as such, dhcpd and ppp/pppoe are not
responding correctly.

For example:
    pppoe starts up gets a connection and then tries to connect the socket
to the interface.
    It fails at this time with error 19-operation not supported by device.

Because of space constraints in my gateway box, i really need to be able to
build this box with a virtual interface.

Is there any documentation on the pppoe parameters so that i can force the
attribution on the connection onto the alias interface?
