I think I now see the issue... I only tried net_interfaces="vlan0" because
after a reboot, vlan0 wasn't created.
In /etc/rc.d/network, I see:
for cloner in $(/sbin/ifconfig -C); do
for int in /etc/ifconfig.${cloner}[0-9]*; do
[ ! -f $int ] && break
tmp="$tmp ${int##*.}"
done
ifconfig -C certainly returns vlan, but then it looks as though I need
the /etc/ifconfig.vlan0 file rather than being able to try the
fancy variable (c.f., original message...).
Might need a -a -n eval \$ifconfig_$cloner or somesuch...
Cheers,
Patrick
