Description of problem: I tried to add an alias for a network device using the GUI by creating a second network device for the same hardware device. This partially worked, but the device would not come up after rebooting. I was able to get things to work properly by editing the :1 file and deleting all of the entries other than IPADDR and NETMASK. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.30-2.1 How reproducible: I only tried a few times, but it happened all of the times I tried it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a second network device for a single network card. 2. Reboot. 3. Using ifconfig to check status of the network devices. Actual results: I got the following log messages on reboot: Apr 2 11:08:59 localhost kernel: eth1: link down Apr 2 11:08:59 localhost kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready I don't have the ifconfig results handy, but they definitely showed things were not right. Expected results: eth1 and eth1:1 both as function network interfaces after reboot. Additional info: ifcfg-eth1 (I believe I changed PEERDNS to no after fixing the problem): # Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
