Alright,

Well the fix for this stupid problem is very simple, here it is:

> vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:7C:45:E1, vifname=alleenregistratie' ]

The vifname is too long, so something like

vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:7C:45:E1, vifname=test1' ]

Works fine ...

Arg, hours searching for just a simple fix...

Is this somewhere in the manuals? Because I really could not find it.

Greetings,
Jim.
