Lutz, Has anyone responded at all ?
If so how about a summary, Please ?
if not,
I have basically repeated the same steps and
have gotten the exact same response from the system.
Checked the 'man ifconfig' and found mentions these
the /etc/init.d/network file doesn't exist,
Is it possibly for another distribution ?
the /proc/net/sockets file doesn't exist
the /proc/net/dev file has :
lo: .......
dummy: No statistics available
eth0: .....
ppp0: .....
Damn, this sure looks like whatever the problem
is the ':' isn't getting parsed as a delimiter
to the interface value.
IE:
ifconfig eth0
prints out the interface statistics.
ifconfig eth0:
eth0:: unknown interface.
ifconfig eth0:0
eth0:0: unknown interface.
ifconfig eth0.0 199.33.245.57
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device ( expected :-)
PS, happens with any delimiter I could think of.
ifconfig eth0:0 199.33.245.57
SIOCSIFADDR: Invalid argument
