I noticed that the VLAN code of kernels >=2.6.8 contain the patch needed
to mirror link state information from the real device to the vlan

This however causes the system to hang in combination with net-snmpd.
The last thing that I see is an ioctl(0x8947...

What kind of ethernet devices do you have making use of VLAN?


I suspect the underlying device doesn't support mii interface.
If that is true, then the code is doing the right thing (and net-snmp)
is being too dependant on MII.

Why would it cause a hang though? I would expect net-snmp to immediately fail the IOCTL and continue on it's merry way.
