[Bug 351378] Re: dhclient fails for virtual interfaces (IP aliases)

[Bryan McLellan]

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

These two errors are because dhclient-script does not support alias
interfaces. If you don't use this script, those errors go away. However
it's likely dhclient doesn't support alias interfaces at all, a
different dhcp client may the solution.

# dhclient eth0:0 -sf /bin/true
