But why would they be in use at the time udev runs? It's very early in the boot process. Actually, at that time VLANs have not been created yet. OTOH I can see that if they were created and the subinterfaces raised asyncronously in a boot script then there would be a race with udev. (Not that it really matters since they are not supposed to be renamed anyway.) -- ciao, Marco
