The hardware has stripped the VLAN header completely and has not provided it to us at all. In my opinion trying to cobble one up by hand using the known TAG is worse than not providing a VLAN header at all. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
