Aliasing devices like this (ethn:m) is rather 1990s. I don't know why 
people haven't caught onto using the proper 'ip' tool to replace 
'ifconfig', as it supports multiple addresses per interface correctly 
and without any pain. Alternatively, thanks to Linux's default 
proxy-ARPiness, you can just add your alias to lo which achieves the 
same result, with the bonus that lo never goes down :)
