Now after these other two patches that I just committed,
the problem with the vlan creation is gone and the only benefit of such
a function osdep.enable_vlan() would be to print out a warning message
into the log file to indicate that VLAN support is not available on the
system (after a failed modprobe). Not sure whether it is worth such a function,
though, but might be useful for debugging. Comments?
