I don't know how many cards won't support VLAN nowadays. But i will test these changes with my third party driver (just recompile it against pre-2.4.19) and report the results. This will tell us exactly nothing. It will continue to tell us nothing until I make the change whereby NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED is set by default and devices known to work are updated to clear it.
Please don't bother posting the results, we know what will happen. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
