FreeBSD  3.2-RELEASE (Generic) #0.  I'm using an SMC9432TX  10/100 card.

in rc.conf I've got:

network_interfaces="tx0 lo0"
ifconfig_tx0="inet 209.53.238.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 media autoselect"
ifconfig_tx0_alias0="inet 209.53.238.30 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_tx0_alias1="inet 209.53.238.31 netmask 255.255.255.0"

while the .11 address works fine, the .30 &.31 addresses do not.
(I've tried several available IP's, 29, 30, 31, 32).

an ifconfig -a shows:
tx0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
  inet 209.53.238.11 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.53.238.255
  inet 209.53.238.30 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.53.238.255
  inet 209.53.238.31 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.53.238.255
  ether 00:e0:29:2f:8b:7e
  media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active

while a ping to 209.53.238.11 works fine, a ping to the other one(s)
shows:
ping: sendto: Host is down

and sometimes:
ping -c3 209.53.238.30
PING 209.53.238.30 (209.53.238.30): 56 data bytes
--- 209.53.238.30 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

any ideas what may be wrong?
