iproute2 and ethX:X subdevices

Hi,

Quick question -- is it possible to create eth0:0 - style psuedo-devices
using the 'ip' tool?

I see they recognise them when using 'ip addr show':
5: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,ALLMULTI,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    inet 192.168.0.1/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth2:0

But I can't see a way of creating them. Is it possible?

(I know somebody may say "why would I want to" -- it's just for neatness,
so that people using 'ifconfig' can still see all the addresses in use.)

Thanks,
--
