Yes, "eth0:0" is called an alias interface and was used in the past to
support multiple IP addresses (ifconfig eth0:0 <ip> up),
but "eth0.10" (dot instead of colon) is a VLAN
(ip link add link eth0 name eth0.10 type vlan id 10).

You are right that Coova won't work on alias interfaces like
"eth0:0", but it does work on VLAN interfaces like "eth0.10".
