I am reading the thread backwards, so i may miss some of the obvious.
I also dont remember the exact discussion we had - but the consensus was

Note the meta-setter (been sitting on it for too long) also set the

BTW, in regards to the VLANs, what is wrong with using the
netdev->iflink to figure the real device?
