thank you very much for that link - I'm not subscribed to netdev and
that searches on web archives sometimes do not seem to work very well.
I only found that patches from 2011.
OK, when applying that patch to iproute2 git the if_link.h hunk
expectedly fails, but the rest applies.
But, unfortunately the result is not what I would expect:
./ip link add link veth0 veth0.1000 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 1000
./ip link add link veth0.1000 veth0.1000.1000 type vlan proto 802.1q id 1000
ifconfig veth0.1000.1000 192.168.123.1/24
ping 192.168.123.2
tcpdump -i veth0 -n
17:27:41.067431 4e:06:ea:bc:87:38 > 8e:42:eb:bd:cc:f2, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 106: vlan 1000, p 0, ethertype 802.1Q, vlan 1000, p 0, ethertype IPv4, 192.168.123.1 > 192.168.123.2: ICMP echo request, id 15754, seq 1, length 64

Both have ether type 0x8100, the first one should have 0x88a8, or did I get something wrong?
(Note: veth1 is in a different network namespace and set up like veth0 above)
I didn't have much time yet to look into if I can find an explanation myself...

Michael
