Hmm, doesn't look like much trickery to me. It just extracts the raw
device name and does the corresponding vonfig if the syntax eth0.x is
being used. For the syntax "vlanX" it only does the vconfig. To my mind,
that's exactly what needs to be done and network-manager should do the
same. I wouldn't mind if it is necessary to use the "vlanX" notation.
The old posts, however, do not have must in common with the current
problem, as at that time network manager did not have support for vlans.
VLAN support was added with 0.9.4 in 2012, so pretty recently.
Concerning the patch message for the vlan support. Yes, but there is
more evidence that network manager has vlan support. First the network
manager main page and the release notes state so:
http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/
Secondly the API description shows VLAN entries:
http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/api/09/ref-
settings.html
The big question for me now is: If network manager has vlan support, how
to use that? There are some examples in the net (although very difficult
to find), but these all use for rhel, thus using rhel configuration
files. :-(
Either that all is a parser function, so only the rhel configuration
file parser can work with VLAN entries and not the ifupdown parser. But
on the other hand, all documentation states that in the "keyfile"
configuration files you can access all configuration items. I would not
mind to configure the vlan in the keyfile manually once, if network
manager can then manage the connection...
