Oh... that's now how you specify that it provide a virtual interface 
name (at least not that I recall).  But, maybe I'm wrong :-)

No what I meant was "is my bug description correct"?  Does IPaddr* 
require ipaddr for monitor, or not?  (I don't think it does - the

I missed that you were already using ipaddr2.
