In my case they are normal ethernet cards, not wifi.

I didn't determine the cause, but I think it might have to do with what order
the devices are brought up in. My guess is that the base interfaces need
to be brought up before their corresponding aliases.

The problem only shows on reboots. When you first create the aliases, things
work correctly.
