Running NetBSD 1.3.3 on a sparc4c.  I have an alias address configured
on le0 and it seems to be working properly, but the alias address does
not appear in an ifconfig output as I would expect from past experience
with FreeBSD.

crane# cat ifaliases
192.147.160.201 le0 255.255.255.224
crane# ping 192.147.160.201
