Hi All,

today I saw something scary, that I cant explain - I had the same some
time before, but never found an answer on it.

I am running a hostbox with two vlan interfaces, everything is doing
fine so far. Today I tried to add another interface to one of my guests.

The current config has 3 interfaces all in the same vlan - works.
I added one new interface from the other vlan - when I now startup the
guest I get "RTNETLINK answers: Numerical result out of range".

The IP Adress is not set on the host and so not avail inside the geust -
adding the IP to the host by hand and launching the guest still results
in the error message shown, but the new interface is operational afterwards.

vserver is unfortunately quite old
Kernel: 2.6.22.19-vs2.2.0.7
VS-API: 0x00020200
util-vserver: 0.30.214; Nov  8 2007, 21:45:41
but I am unable to uügrade due to policy reasons (debian stable box)

Oliver
