Title: VLAN assigned to ath0_wlanx error -> interface name too long
Post by: Mks on January 10, 2019, 09:06:59 pm

Hi,

I've tried to assign an VLAN-ID to ath0_wlan4 which results in a crash with the following notification:

Quote

opnsense: /usr/local/etc/rc.filter_configure: New alert found: There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:97: interface name too long - The line in question reads [97]: scrub on ath0_wlan4_vlan50 all

Any idea?

May for clarification what I'm trying to implement. I've four VLANs which are assigned to one physical interface eth0, which is obviously the trunk to the (VLAN capable) switch. Everything work as expected.

Now I want to add WLANs to each VLAN. Hardware has WLAN card (atheros) integrated.
Basically the WIFI functionality works, now my plan was to assign to each WLAN interface ath0-ath4 the VLAN ID (ath0_wlanX_vlanXX) and bridge those interfaces to the corresponding LANs.

Ticket here, but no quick fix for the character limit as enforced by the kernel.
