I added this config file but it's not bringing up eth0:0.

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
DEVICE=eth0:0
IPADDR=192.168.x.y   (yes, x.y are numbers)
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
IPV6INIT=no
#

What am I missing?  Do I need the base ifcfg-eth0 file, too?  (That file
was not created by anaconda).  Or do I need some additional fields because
there is no ifcfg-eth0?  Or do I need to tell NM to bring it up?
