Description Guido van Rooij 1995-03-20 12:10:01 UTC 
	

When you run
	ifconfig inet x.y.z.a netmask 0xffffff00 alias x.y.z.b
the kernel picks up x.y,.z.b as a broadcast adres. Whenever you
also specify the broacast adres, it work as expected.

Fix: 

This is no bug. alias is just a flag for the complete command line. Not an option that comes with an adress	.
