User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0-10; Linux)  
  
Description of problem:  
Cannot configure an alias interface for use with DHCP.  
I need two DHCP addresses for the eth0 interface, so I configure  
both eth0 and eth0:0 for DHCP. This does not work for the alias  
interface.  
  
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  
6.67-1  
  
How reproducible:  
Always  
  
Steps to Reproduce:  
1. Create ifcfg-eth0:0 containing  
  
DEVICE=eth0:0  
BOOTPROTO=dhcp  
  
2. Run ifup eth0  
   
  
Actual Results:    
# ifup eth0  
Determining IP information for eth0... done.  
error in ifcfg-eth0:0: didn't specify device or ipaddr

Aliases don't support dhcp.
