The reported "wlan" problem (which I personally don't agree with since
mainline wlan drivers use the eth namespace, and out of tree drivers
aren't something I care about) is also a problem when you use persistent
naming for devices (via udev, nameif, ifrename, ...).
Usually you want to stay away from the eth namespace when you rename
interfaces to not run into problems with already taken names.
Personally I usually rename my router interfaces to something like
"wan", "lan" and my vlan interface would probably be called "vlan"
rather then ethX.
It would be nice if there where some way that the if-pre-up.d/vlan
script could catch the setup rather then relying on the eth-name (when
using that vlan layout). Btw, I haven't tested if this even works with
the vconfig utility.
I consider this wishlist severity, as the udev persistent name generator
uses the eth namespace and no mainline drivers will use anything but the
eth namespace.
