#6 No support for VLAN interface names

[David Craig]

I am not sure how familiar you are with vlans, but it
gives the administrator the capability for connecting a
host with a single network interface card to multiple
switched networks. Linux represents each of network as
a separate network interface card.

A host connected to vlans 950 and 951 through eth0
would have two interfaces: eth0.950 and eth0.951. The
dhcpv6 configuration file format, and prehaps more,
does not anticipate a period in the interface name.

Please fix this.
It does NOT only apply to VLAN interface names but also to renamed interfaces (e.g. with udev).

You can't use interface names like ethAuth :(
