>Description:
Switching around the words 'inet' and 'alias' cause a kernel panic.
>How-To-Repeat:
ifconfig ep0 inet alias 204.137.237.1 netmask 0xffffffff

instead of

ifconfig ep0 alias inet 204.137.237.1 netmask 0xffffffff

(or do I have that switched around?)
>Fix:
Be careful when typing ifconfig commands as root. :)

 This can be closed, it no longer happens under 2.2.6 or -current.
 
 (I still can't explain how it happened on 2.2.1)
