I tried it all. Im sure that problem is in alck of ARPA for 100MB netcards
(if I undrestand manuals in NetBSD). So if there is no arpa for cards,
there is no propagating aliaes adresses with MAC address of card... It
cant work in such situation. I would like to be wrong, but im afraid this
is the answer... For 100MB cards in my opinion is impossible to make aliases.
Can anyone make aliases for 100NB cards?

Anyway thank for help and opinien. Problem is still actual - if anyone
know the solution, please help.
