Hi folks, As our ifconfig(8) is growing more options for special interface types, inconsistencies sneak into their syntax. In particular, -vlandev takes a useless argument (vlan(4) cannot attach to more than one parent anyway) while, e.g., -carpdev doesn't need one. Personally, I like the latter since having to type unneeded words on the command line annoys me. Do you think that making -vlandev need no arguments in CURRENT would break many existing things? -- Yar
