While you may have thought of this already, your subject line does ask for a "workaround" -- have you considered simply assigning an IP address to eth0? That said, I am curious what the use case is here where one wouldn't have an IP assigned to the physical interface. I'm not passing judgement, I'm simply not able to think of a circumstance where it would be appropriate to use the configuration you're trying to make work. What prevents using an IP for eth0 itself? -- Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
