Alex,
I don't see rx-vlan-offload option in my ethtool. strange, maybe it is
not available in all ethtool versions ?

Hi Peter,

Yes, I'm using AF_PACKET (I can't validate it now for 100%, but I
quite sure about it).
I'm accessing the ethernet header, and it always gives me non extended
ethernet header (without vlan information).
I can see the vlan tag in vlan_tci field in sk_buff, but this is not
exactly what I need, I need the header AS-IS with the original
(extended) ethernet header.

Thanks.
