[Xorp-users] mfea failed when I configure VLAN

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to do multicast routing with differents VLANs on same physical
interface eth0 on Linux.
The unicast routing works very well but when i put "plumbing mfea4" in
configuration I have a failer when I commit.
I test the mfea4 without vlan and it works.

It is only when I have configured vlan with vconfig that mfea4 failed when I
commit in xorpsh configure mode.

Thanks very much in advance for your help or any ideas.

Here is some details:
Linux kernel 2.6.24
xorp-1.5 and xorp-1.6 (I have tested both and I have the same issue).

here is what I do:
labo at labo-laptop> show interfaces
eth0/eth0: Flags:<ENABLED,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 speed 10 Mbps
        inet6 fe80::21a:4bff:fe8d:5333 prefixlen 64
        inet 192.168.1.7 subnet 192.168.1.0/24
        physical index 2
        ether 0:1a:4b:8d:53:33
eth0/eth0.2: Flags:<ENABLED,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 speed 10 Mbps
        inet6 fe80::21a:4bff:fe8d:5333 prefixlen 64
        inet 192.168.2.7 subnet 192.168.2.0/24
        physical index 3
        ether 0:1a:4b:8d:53:33
        vlan: 2 parent interface: eth0
labo at labo-laptop> configure

`mfe' is ambiguous.
