Testing and understanding Vlan support (in openwrt/Linux)

The following conclusions have been drawn:

• VLAN tagged interfaces, compared to alias interfaces, allow better decapsulation of different routing protocols per mesh node becasue each physical interface can be logically completely seperated several virtual interfaces, each having its own ip-range, Interface-index,...

• VLAN is generally fully supported under openwrt/linux

• VLAN init scripts in OpenWrt was partially broken in combination with specific wireless drivers (e.g. madwifi).
  This could have been fixed (see http://gsf.guifi.net/redmine/projects/qmp/repository/revisions/ipv6-routing-prototype/entry/files/etc/hotplug.d/net/10-net)
  During BattlemeshV4 the issue has been discussed with Jow (openWrt developer) and should have been fixed now upstream as well.

During this openwrt init-script bugFixing,
