I just rebuild and installed my world and kernel to test the patches.
Seems like things did not work as expected.
The name part of ifconfig_vlan0 left me with renamed but not configured device.
The IP etc of VLAN01 was not set at boot. Am I doning something wrong?

cloned_interfaces="bridge0 vlan0"
ifconfig_sk0="up"
ifconfig_vlan0="name VLAN01 inet 10.137.99.4 vlan 1 vlandev sk0"

Cheers,
Marcin.
