That's just great and very typical linux. Don't get me started, but if you ever tried to use bonding (trunk(4)) under Linux and want to use VLAN tagging on those interfaces too it gets really really messy *ugh* I have no fucking clue why those Linux folks are not just fixing their ifconfig? Well, maybe because Linux is just the kernel and some other guy who doesn't like anyone is maintaining ifconfig.
