And if you try with "ifconfig foo create vlan bar vlandev baz"? I have
only tried it with the create keyword added and the clone stuff in
/etc/network.subr also use it like that, if I read the code correctly.
I think if it previously worked, it was by accident. :-/ If we need
it to work, maybe one can test for vlan in main() whith the test for
create or plumb?
