Challenge S ec3 cannot be set as the primary device
So I'm trying to conserve my network supplies. I don't currently have an AUI transceiver, and I don't feel like buying 2+ of them just to run my challenge S units, so I'm trying to use the ec3 interface that's on the mezzanine. I got it working on the miniroot/inst, but in this case I'm having issues:

network: WARNING: Failed to configure ec3 as /etc/config/ifconfig-1.options.
network: WARNING: Cannot access primary interface, ec3.
Using standalone network mode.
ec3: flags=8400802<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPALIAS,IPV6>
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
add host 127.0.0.1: Invalid argument

I have configured the /etc/config/netif.options file as follows:

if1name=ec3

#  To override the primary interface address, change the value part
#  and remove the leading : character.

if1addr=$hostname

#  To override the name and/or address of the first gateway interface,
#  change the value part and remove the leading : character.

if2name=ec0
if2addr=gate-$HOSTNAME

The rest of the network should be set correctly for my network, but I just get that on startup. Nothing in SYSLOG or anything else to go off here.

What am I doing wrong?
