Hi guys :-)

just an update ....

ifconfig shows:
inet 193.158.1.137 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 193.158.1.137

netstat -rn shows:
193.158.1.137      193.158.1.137      UH          0        0       vx0 =>
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^                                   ^^^
193.158.1.137/32   link#1

so here's the bug ;) no alias is really made...

FIX:
I deleted the route added by ifconfig... and voila, everythings ok...
I can ping the address..

so.. seems to be a bug ;) -> already sent an PR
