Hi,
When trying to use ng_ether with vlan interfaces using the naming sheme
${parent_if}.${vlan_tag}
it produces the following warning :
ng_ether_attach: can't name node ix0.512
And the newly created netgraph node stays <unnamed>.
This is due to the following check in sys/netgraph/ng_base.c:ng_name_node() :
/* Check the name is valid */
for (i = 0; i < NG_NODESIZ; i++) {
if (name[i] == '\0' || name[i] == '.' || name[i] == ':')
break;
}
Do we really do not want to allow dot in the name?
If it's not an option to allow the dot, probably it would be better to replace
it with
underscore.
I can provide a patch if the change is acceptable.
Cheers,
Nikolay_______________________________________________
