I don't really know what you are trying to do here, but ifconfig is
now a rather obselete command and probably can't cope with it.  Try
the /sbin/ip utility instead, it is a much more powerful and
flexable tool.  (eg: "/sbin/ip address add 130.130.1.1 dev lo")

(See the docs with the iproute2 utilities and the networking howtos
at http://www.tldp.org/ for more details).
