I know I say it all the time, but interface aliasing is OBSOLETE (i.e. 
don't use it!  It does horrible things to your routing tables and 
iptables filters!).  However if you do want to use it, interface 
aliasing is always enabled on 2.4 kernels.

The "new way" (which is much more friendly if you're doing any sort of 
advanced routing, firewalling, or traffic control) is to use iproute2:

ip addr add address/bitmask dev ethX

I think ifconfig can also do it (ifconfig eth0 add ...) but you should 
probably have iproute2 anyway if you're doing any major networking.  The 
ifconfig support for this may also be IPv6 only.
