This doesn't work for me. At start up I do a bunch of aliases to de0. All
these work, because I can ping them, traceroute to them, and other
machines on the network can talk to them, but 'ifconfig -a' just shows:
de0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 194.70.52.51 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 194.70.52.255
ether 00:40:05:00:04:5d
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ppp1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
'de0' has 1 primary address (.51) and 5 aliases assigned to it.
Perhaps it's dependent on the driver being used?
