[Bug 876829] Re: Oneiric's ifupdown breaks ip aliases

[Nils Pascal Illenseer]

Before oneiric ifupdown used ifconfig to set the network interface and
with oneiric iproute2 is used. iproute2 assigns new IPs directly to the
interface, e.g. eth0, if you like to have a virtual interface eth0:0,
you have to add a label explicitly.

ifconfig eth0:0 x.x.x.x up
vs.
ip addr add x.x.x.x/x dev eth0 label eth0:0

I assume ifupdown misses to set the label with iproute2.
