 Hello,
 
 Mentioned issue still exists in the FreeBSD-9-STABLE branch (it seems 
 like every branch is affected).
 
 According to new rc subsystem (check the /etc/network.subr) where vlans 
 are created - they're all using dots in ifnames.
 Also, function get_if_var() already has mentioned code for the replacing 
 ". - / +" to "_".
 So mentioned patch will not break anything, even users ngctl scripts, 
 since that users just can not use dots there by design.
 
 Thank you.
