There is one exception to this.

You could make eth1 a bridge, therefore it would not require an ip address 
but should, if I understand it right, still be able to assign ip addresses 
to that interface, I think that's what the man-page means by a 
non-broadcast address.  The reason I've looked at this is because that's 
what I want to do, as I have an internal 4-port hub that's seen as eth1, 
i.e. it only registers as one interface to the kernel.

Cheers.
