Hello

One big problem with vlans on linux is that the native interface always 
get all vlans.

This can cause problem with bridges.

One interesting feature would be to have a special vlan number

(let's say 0 or -1 or 4097 ) designed so that it gets all the untagged 
trafic and only the untagged trafic.

what do you think about this ?
