New way (iproute2):

	ip addr add 192.168.10.5/24 broadcast 192.168.10.255 dev eth0
	ip addr add 10.0.0.22/8 broadcast 10.255.255.255 dev eth0

Old way (interface aliases):

	ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.5 netmask 255.255.255.0
	ifconfig eth0:1 10.0.0.27 netmask 255.0.0.0

  The new way is cleaner and more flexible, but may confuse people or
software used to the old "ifconfig" method (which assumes one IP address per
interface).
