Hey Jarod, you stole my thunder! ;)

Looks like you've done a nice job with this package - do you care to 
maintain it or would you mind being joint maintainers? I'm really keen 
to get into packaging and this was to be my little project but looks 
like you beat me to it!

One thing missing from the package seems to be the patch to fix the 
vlanmode issue.

Best
