That'll do it! ;-)

I don't remember for sure, but I seem to recall discussion on the kernel
list about that being broken for a while.  Try with 1.3.84 and see if it
works now.  If not, you probably have to upgrade network tools--various
stuff like procps and such has been breaking with fixes in the development
kernels.  Perhaps net tools was another one?  I don't use aliasing myself,
so I can't say for sure.

good luck,
