Package: vlan
Version: 1.9-3
Followup-For: Bug #456309
hi,
I hit the same problems as rene with the naming convetion of vlan
interfaces in network/interfaces.
Though i've implemented complete free named vlan devices.
eg.
iface dmz inet static
vlan-raw-device eth1
vlan-id 66
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
This produces:
# ip -d link
112: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
noqueue state UP
link/ether 00:19:d1:56:57:cf brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
vlan id 66 <REORDER_HDR>
