Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2009 11:48:26 -0500 From: Robin Getz <rgetz@...ckfin.uclinux.org> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: 802.1Q support? I'm trying to understand the "standard" way to control a switch which supports VLAN. Pick any one of: Infineon XWAY ADM6999 (eight-port 10/100 plus one MII) http://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/channel.html?channel=ff80808112ab681d0112ab68ce8d0043 Micrel MS8993M (2 port 10/100 plus one MII) http://www.micrel.com/_PDF/Ethernet/ks8993m_pb.pdf Broadcom BCM5325E (five port 10/100 plus one MII) http://www.broadcom.com/collateral/pb/5325E-PB00-R.pdf Realtek (five port 10/100 plus one MII) http://www1.futureelectronics.com/doc/REALTEK%20SEMICONDUCTOR/Realtek%20Semiconductor%20RTL8306SD-GR.pdf They all have multiple MAC/PHYs which are exposed to the wire, and a single MII interface - which normally connects directly to a SOC's MII/MAC. I would have thought that there would be separate drivers for these in the phylib, but I didn't find anything that looked like it would work. (or expose the right interface (all the vendor specific VLAN registers) so I can program them properly from userspace)... It is possible to hack up the specific EMAC driver to do everything, but that doesn't seem like the right way to do it... Any pointers appreciated. Thanks. -- 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
