It's new.  I added it in the last year or so to match the way wlan devices
are created.  It also can do sane things like auto-destroy associated vlans
when a device is stopped, etc.  However, I have not tested them with 
/etc/netstart.  They do work fine during a normal startup.  I can't see 
obvious reasons as to why they would fail though via /etc/netstart.

The stuff that handles vlans_<if> will auto-load if_vlan.ko if it is needed,
but perhaps that isn't working from single user mode when using /etc/netstart?

Also, do the vlans work fine if you let a box boot normally?
