If you haven't already figured this out (and hopefully you've been off eating turkey and pumpkin pie instead of having to configure IP addresses...) This is very simple with yast2 on SuSE. Just go into Yast2 Click Network Devices Select the current one and click Edit Go down to the "Additional Addresses" section Click Add Name it (vip0 or whatever you'd like) put in the IP and Netmask Et voila! Immediately usable and visible in "ifconfig". (It basically just adds a couple of lines to the eth0 device (or whatever device yours is called) in /etc/sysconfig/network and does whatever is needed to dynamically activate it.
