Dear Fedi, I have another #Linux question.
I've noticed some time ago that most of my Linux devices have two IP addresses in my local network, on a single wlan interface (192.168.1.127 and 192.168.1.128 in this screenshot)
Both of them work - I can ping those addresses from another device in a local network.
Why is that so? Why two addresses for one network interface? And how?
