Ensure that sio1 was probed correctly (run ``dmesg''). If it is,
please post the full message.

Doesn't it ? What are your ``nat port'' commands ?

These alias addresses shouldn't be a problem. ppp.linkdown.sample
keeps things tidier, but that's all.

That's because ``iface-alias'' is disabled. See the documentation. I
would think this stuff is a red herring.
