Not the way to resolve I need to make it possible through the network-script or set into the interface config (ifcfg-eth0:2)

Which distribution(s) versions did you try this with?

For aliased sub-interfaces ONBOOT is the wrong option,
anyway, it should say ONPARENT.

verify in /etc/modprobe* or /etc/modules if there is a reference for your card. delete them if exist
