>Description:
When creating vlans manually i get no kernel panic:
Works-> ifconfig vlan30 create vlan 30 vlandev fxp2 mtu 1500 up

But when i use a perl script to pull values from an array and run it I get a kernel panic.


>How-To-Repeat:
Use this Perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
@vlans=(
        "30,fxp2",
        "31,fxp2",
        "32,fxp2"
);

foreach (@vlans){
        ($vnum,$int)=(split "," ,$_)[0,1];
        print("Bringing up VLAN $vnum on $int\n");
        system("ifconfig vlan$vnum create vlan $vnum vlandev $int mtu 1500 up");
}

>Fix:
It looks like the problem is just bringing the interface up in perl
if I use: system("ifconfig vlan$vnum create vlan $vnum vlandev $int mtu 1500") it works but "ifconfig vlan$vnum up" is what causes the panic
