Re: Virtual Network Interface

not sure if this is actually possible, other than adding an additional IP

May I ask why you want to do this ?
(maybe we can think of another solution for your problem)

In addition to the existing network interface I need to create a virtual
network interface which has it's own IP configuration but uses the same
hardware network card.

Simply adding an additional IP to the existing interface would be okay if
there is a way to start/stop it with a script.
