Put this into your /etc/rc.con= f and be done: # a hack to ease the configuration of machines with only one NIC _single=3D`ifconfig -l link` eval ifconfig_${_single}=3D"inet 192.168.254.193 netmask 255.255.255.0" eval ifconfig_${_single}_alias0=3D"inet 192.168.254.199 netmask 255.255= =2E255.0" Maybe a bit ugly, though. ;-) In case there's more than one interface you'll get "ifconfig_xxN not found", where xxN is your first link, so it should be "safe".
