Thanks for pointing that route vs /lib/freebsd/route issue, forgot to change it for IPv6. > [[ ifconfig %iface% inet6 %address% -alias ]] > never caused any execution.

Anyway, beta2 had one more problem which would prevent some things from functioning normally. rc1 should be available very soon which is going to have these and other issues fixed, so please test it. Or, alternatively, you can try this version: http://anonscm.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/ifupdown/archive/56f2da3d7e9b.tar.bz2 Thanks for you help, -- WBR, Andrew
