Description Martin Schaller 2006-02-26 13:11:00 UTC 
In /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-802.1q there is a wrong comparision:
Lines 76-80:
# ETHERDEVICE may contain a device description which must first be
# converted to the current interface name of that device
if [ "$SCRIPTNAME" = ifup ] ; then
        ETHERDEVICE=`/sbin/getcfg-interface -- $ETHERDEVICE`
        if ! is_iface_available  $ETHERDEVICE ; then

Since $SCRIPTNAME is ifup-802.1q the getcfg-interface is never called and it is impossible to use ETHERDEVICE=eth-id-XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX in /etc/sysconfig/network/vlanX

Replacing it with:
if [ "$SCRIPTNAME" = ifup-802.1q ] ; then
makes it work.

This is fixed in latest sysconfig YOUpdate.
Also fixed for current products.
