[SOLVED] ip link add vlan does not work anymore

The following command worked for a long time:

sudo ip link add link eth0 name eth0.3 type vlan id 3

It does not work anymore:

sudo ip link add link eth0 name eth0.3 type vlan id 3
Error: Unknown device type.

System:
uname -a
Linux abc 5.10.13-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed, 03 Feb 2021 23:44:07 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any help is appreciated.

Regards, R.

Problem gone after a system update.
