Setting up an alias ethernet interface

[Alexander Holst]

Hi y'all

I remember that it was possible to set up an alias ethernet interface 
with netcfg. i can't find this command in YDL2.2 any more. The "network 
Configuration" in the Systems menue does not allow new interfaces to be 
added. How can one achieve this now. Should I install linuxconf - I 
remember some time ago a statement from YDL that linuxconf wasn't the 
tool of choice and that's the reason it wasn't included in the distro.

I need to set this machine up to route|masquerade between a private 
network [192.168.1.x] and a "real" network on the same wire to test some 
machines and routing issues.

Any help appreciated.
