You can't configure your card's aliases with one single ifconfig call. The rc.conf file allows you to add aliases that way: ifconfig_ed0="inet CardIP ..." ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet CardIPAlias ..." Those lines will be translated in theses commands in the rc.network file: ifconfig_ed0 inet CardIP ... ifconfig_ed0 inet CardIPAlias ... alias Stef
