iface_ethx aliases

At home I've got a small network with fixed addresses 192.168.1.0 on
eth0 and fixed IP access point which my wireless card sees as eth1; at
work I have instead a dhcp eth0 and dhcp access point.

I don't know HOW TO USE the iface_eth0 and alias_iface_eth0 which
in /etc/net I set (tentatively) to:

iface_eth0="192.168.10.1"
alias_iface_eth0="dhcp"
iface_eth1="192.168.10.2" # wireless card
alias_iface_eth1="dhcp" # wireless card

At boot I find both eth0 and eth1 set to the fixed IP addresses, but
when I "dhcpcd eth0", it starts while the wireless card isn't unable to
switch to dhcp on its own.

Could you please help me using those aliases?

Hi Vittorio,

Quoting Vittorio <v.demartino2@virgilio.it>:

> alias_iface_eth0="dhcp"
> iface_eth1="192.168.10.2" # wireless card
> alias_iface_eth1="dhcp" # wireless card

I have it the other way - iface_eth* as dhcp and alias as fixed on both my
ethernet card as well as wireless card and it works

Yes, but the problem is (I forgot to mention) that in /etc/net I set
also a "gateway=192.168.10.30" option, which - I believe - makes thing
worse.
