And just for the record, use `ip addr` to make sure it works, because
chances are that `ifconfig` won't show it.

Since kernel 2.2, there can be several IP addresses on the same eth0
interface without having to use 'aliases', using `ip addr add` for
example. networkd uses the new method as well. Unfortunately,
`ifconfig` – even the last version that Arch has – only shows the
first address to this day.
