Strange eth

Anyone has seen this?


eth1:LabN Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr E0:69:95:A2:A9:77
inet addr:192.168.1.60  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
Interrupt:20 Memory:fe500000-fe520000

note the LabN, I have eth0 and eth1 assigned to another IP address, I’m
using openSUSE 11.3

all your network cards will have their own IP address if they are connected to network. might be that eth0 is your wired connection and eth1 your wireless connection. Nothing prevents both of them to be connected to the network(if they were setup have ip and password and set to automatically connect to network.
here is an example from my laptop:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:01:5A:C7:64:28  
          inet addr:192.168.1.6  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:3E:D5:B2:E6  
          inet addr:192.168.1.18  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          Interrupt:22 Base address:0x8000 Memory:b0106000-b0106fff 

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:156 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

Still I want to know why there is an eth1:LabN into the proxy and if
anyone has seen it before
