Summary:                    No (or wrong) support for virtual interfaces in
ifup, ifdown, /etc/network/interfaces.
Description: 
If you define, for example, interface eth0:0 as follows in
/etc/network/interfaces:

iface eth0 inet static

iface eth0:0 inet static
    address 192.168.100.10
    netmask 255.255.255.0

And then you try to activate it with "ifup eth0:0", ifup will NOT complain
about anything but will actually configure eth0 instead of eth0:0.

(it will configure eth0 using the configuration specified for eth0:0)
