[gentoo-user] ifconfig -> SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

[Leandro Melo de Sales]

Hi list,

# ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.3
SIOCSIFADDR: File exists
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

My /etc/conf.d/net is correct:

config_eth0=( "192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
              "192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
              "192.168.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.0"
)
routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.1.1" )

When I start /etc/init.d/net.eth0 (which is a sym link to net.lo) everything
seems to be ok, but when I type ifconfig I can see just eth0 interface. So,
I tried to execute the ifconfig command listen above but I got that error.
What is wrong?

Thank you,

Leandro
