      Hi!

      Experimenting with VLAN and noticed that in 2.2.1 it seems that I can't change back with the GUI.
      I've got the WAN interface assigned to a device "em0". Changing it to "em0_vlan20" works. But changing back doesn't work, it's stuck on the old interface even though the change looks like it was successful.

      BUG?

      Making the changing with the console works as before and I succeed in changing back from the "em0_vlan20" to "em0"

      Brgs,

        Can you describe the exact procedure again? I can't seem to replicate it here.

        How could you tell it didn't actually work?

          Hi!

          I changed the WAN interface to a VLAN interface. That went well. The interface was changed and the change was also visible in the console.

          I changed back to the (not) normal WAN interface. It took a little bit longer than usual and it looked like it was saved becasue the GUI reflected that the normal interface was back. But I got suspicious because I didn't get an ip-address on the wan interface. In the GUI the interface still indicated that it was the right one (not vlan interface) assigned as WAN.
          Then when I checked the console and the WAN interface was still assigned to the VLAN. Changing it back in console worked and brought full function back.

          Lost my way with words :)

            Post screenshots, step by step what you are doing. Afraid that noone can decipher stuff like " changed back to the (not) normal WAN interface".
