I wonder if you really need this after all.  vconfig is deprecated, and
even the current squueze RC1 busybox seems to understand

# ip link add link eth0 name vlan10 type vlan id 10

although the operation itself fails.  On my squeeze desktop,

# modprobe dummy
# ip link add link dummy0 name vlan type vlan id 10

works all right, and even

# busybox ip link del vlan

does its deed, but

# busybox ip link add link dummy0 name vlan type vlan id 10
ip: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

So I guess the support is there in busybox right now, but unfortunately
it's broken by some bug.
