patch: avoid wm(4) resets when adding/deleting vlan(4)



After a wm(4) is reset, it takes about 30 seconds for the NIC to get
back "on net."  It's really painful.

I've attached a patch for -current that stops wm(4) from needlessly
resetting when you add or delete a vlan(4):

ifconfig vlan0 create vlan 2 vlanif wm0
ifconfig vlan0 destroy

Please give it a look or give it a try.  I will commit it next week.

A patch for netbsd-5 is on the way.

Dave
