Can a net_device have multiple net_interfaces for the same
domain/family? For instance, my ethernet card could have 192.168.0.1
and 62.123.12.11 at the same time. That's important for IPv6 and I
didn't find this in the source.


That's even important for IPv4 alone, you could have multiple IPs on one device.



You could, yes, certainly, but why would one want to do this?
AFAICT at least BONE does not support this. It's still early in the game, though, so if you can give me good reasons, I'm willing to implement it.


I don't know if a feature comes into play to do this, but it's useful to have a machine on two subnetworks on the same network device. The good example is you can have two routers with two differents subnetworks on the same local network. Personally I wouldn't miss this at all on first implementations :)
