That error message comes from iproute2, so it looks like you hit this |
| 20 |
bug: |

In a nutshell we are trying to convert ifconfig syntax to iproute2 |
| 25 |
syntax, but we do not do it correctly in this case. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The consensus on the dev list seems to be that it is fine to stop doing |
| 28 |
that, so at some point in the future, probably a release coming up soon, |
| 29 |
the syntax of config_* lines will have to match the tool you are using |
| 30 |
to configure the interfaces. |
