Adding a VLAN to the Wi-Fi Interface

Anyone any ideas why I can't select Aiport/Wi-Fi from my dropdown menu when adding a VLAN Virtual Inerface? See image below.

I've found a workaround using terminal. It would have been nice to have the ability to do it through system preferences!


sudo ifconfig vlan1900 create

sudo ifconfig vlan1900 vlan 1900 vlandev en1

sudo ifconfig vlan1900 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.224
