Reply with quote

I am using wpa_supplicant to deal with connecting to my wireless network at home and work. I would like to set up an alias for this interface. This is easy to do for eth0:

Code:

alias_eth0="192.168.2.101"

but when I try it with the wireless interface

Code:

alias_wlan0="192.168.2.102"

the alias is not created. Any ideas why?

Try using the new style config

Code:

config_wlan0=(
"192.168.0.2/24"
"192.168.0.3/24"
)

If you're using iproute2 you won't get an alias as it can add multiple addresses without the need to create aliases.
If you're using ifconfig then you'll get aliases
