Someone pointed this out the last time that ifupdown's new use of iproute was discussed on this list and Bob P. pointed out that the documentation hadn't yet caught up with that. I'm pretty sure that the last time (six months ago?) Bob linked to a Debian wiki page (or I googled my way to one) that used multiple iface declarations for the same nic (I've also used multiple declarations). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
