Yes! So the vlan patch turned up in patch-2.6.9.bz2. The changeset is on http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git 3c59x.c has a history list here in case this builds on other non 2.6.8 patches: http://tinyurl.com/b8a95 On this you will clearly see the below commit listed: Title: [PATCH] VLAN support for 3c59x/3c90x commit 03e4b71f751da25d7b2d026ba6f4f904116e51e5 Body: This adds VLAN support to the 3c59x/90x series hardware. Stefan de Konink ported this code from the 2.4 VLAN patches and tested it extensively. I cleaned up the ifdefs and fixed a problem with bracketing that made older cards fail. I hope that helps?
