I retested after "dpkg -P vlan", booted a couple of times and got
no single error. Seems this mean to use VLAN someone should better
not install package vlan... :-)

Good spot about the non-NETLINK errors!! Thanks so much, I completely
missed that!

So maybe there is just some issue about some vconfig
backward-compatiblity in ifup?

Have a great weekend, Tom and all the list!
