The suggested patch is a hack and can't be accepted, since we have a clean and nice working solution in RELENG_6. I am running RELENG_6 since mid-summer on my routers utilizing CARP on vlan(4) interface with em(4) as parent. I suggest to upgrade to RELENG_6, as well as many other developers and users do. Even 5.5-RELEASE release notes suggest to move to RELENG_6. -- Totus tuus, Glebius. GLEBIUS-RIPN GLEB-RIPE
