Hi,

iproute2 suite of utilities, and specifically the ip command can do
vlans and network bonding.

Can MAAS use the modern / new commands?
Why are legacy commands being pulled onto the cloud-image?

iproute2 is in minimal, and thus guaranteed to exist even in the
smallest environments.

An excellent guide as to what iproute2 is capable of is available here:
http://baturin.org/docs/iproute2/

master=my-bond
ip link add $master type bond

master=my-bond
slave=eth0
ip link set $slave master $master

ip link add name eth0.110 link eth0 type vlan id 110

I would like to revert below commit.
