The attached patch modifies the way vlan devices are generated based on the chosen parent device (rc.conf:vlans_IFNAME). In case when a name of the generated device is implicitly connected to an interface number it's split with a dot from a virtual network number. This symbol is not allowed in an interface name when referring it from netgraph subsystem and therefore it's visible as 'unnamed'. The attached patch allows to change a different separator when generating vlan device names. It also loads netgraph(4) so interface creation didn't depend on current system configuration. Consistency of interface names in negraph and ifconfig is required by mpd (/usr/ports/net/mpd5). The patch also adds default value to /etc/defauls/rc.conf to allow things to be backward-compatible. Patch is created and tested on 8.1-RELEASE-p2. The patch is authored by Vladimir Stepanov <vysster@gmail.com>, my role is only to help with translation and sending of this PR. Please keep both him and me in CC.
