dhcpcd-discuss

Hi,

I've recently updated dhcpcd to v6.11.2 and the command line:

# dhcpcd -S ip_address=10.7.1.117/8 'br0:fact_ip'
br0:fact_ip: interface not found or invalid
dhcpcd exited
#

does not work anymore.

I think it is an effect of the commit id 
1ea41b230676c4803efb23456b55f52a0d8bbcd5:
Add if_nametospec helper to decode and interface name such as bge1:2 
into device name, lun, ppa and driver name. Use this function when 
discovering addresesses and when they arrive via the kernel listening 
socket so they can be assigned to the correct physical interface. This 
change does also stop `dhcpcd eth0:1` working on Linux, but is needed 
for basic Solaris support.

I use this feature essentially in my embedded userland and I would like 
to know if
there is a workaround to configure more than one ip on the same net. 
device using
some kind of (different) labels to distinguish between them.
