Description of problem:
Hi.

I have some servers with rhel6.6 where vlan is configured via ifup scripts.
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-vlan178 
DEVICE=vlan178
VLAN=yes
VLAN_NAME_TYPE=VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD
PHYSDEV=em1
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=br0_vlan178

Bridge is running without problems.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-9.03.44-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup vlan script
2. shutdown networkmanager
3. ifup vlan178

Actual results:
Device vlan178 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

Expected results:
vlan up and running

Additional info:
Main trouble is hidden in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup. I did diff a and just vlan part is modified. I'm able to workaround this by replacing ifup script from rhel 6.5.

FYI this bug was introduced by upgrading from rhel65 (where it works) to rhel66nightly.
