Apologies for the late response to this.

ipconfig is only really meant to handle the "ip" kernel parameter, so I
think VLAN creation should be done by a separate command.  Ideally that
would also use rtnetlink so that the VLAN device name is not restricted
to use any particular format.  (I wonder if it is practical to get
iproute2 running on klibc?)

There are some formatting issues with the code as well; you can use the
kernel's checkpatch.pl script to find those.

Ben.
