For what it's worth, if I add an IP address to eth0 with a label of
eth0foo, ifconfig also has a hard time dealing with the situation.
Try it and see.
I suspect iproute is letting us doing things with the networking that
older tools and methods of querying can't deal with.
Well, ifconfig has been deprecated for years in favour of iproute2,
precisely because it can't deal with lots of functionality modern Linux
kernels provide. Developement on net-tools ceased in April 2001!
So that's not really a good excuse for the dhcp3 suite to failing to
work in what has been a perfectly valid setup for many years, IMHO.
