The kernel stores virtuel interfaces as named secondary addresses of the physical one. Therefore there might (in your case eth0:5) be a virtuel interface which is the primary one. > > You cant see that with ifconfig and have to use "ip" tool.

And yes its a strange behaviour, but ifconfig will need to use netlink to find that out (or you use ip addr).
