so, vlan:
-calls ether_ifattach, which, last not least, sets if_type to IFT_ETHER
-right after set if_type to IFT_L2VLAN
-just to set it to if_ether again as soon as it gets configured
(parents can only be IFT_ETHER)
that is... pointless.
fwiw, this was the one and only use of IFT_L2VLAN in the entire
kernel.
the question in the comment has been answered by the last 13 years.
ok?
