Hi Tantilov, Did you get a chance to look into lowe Linux versions 2.6.16 ?
Thanks & Regards Vijay Agrawal -----Original Message----- From: Tantilov, Emil S [mailto:emil.s.tanti...@intel.com] Sent: 01 March 2014 00:48 To: Vijay Agrawal; Fujinaka, Todd; e1000-de...@lists.sf.net Subject: RE: [E1000-devel] ixgbe-3.17.3 :VLAN tagged packets does not work when using PF-PACKET socket , Hello Vijay, I ran a quick test on my system between a 2.6.32 and 3.3.x kernels and I can reproduce the vlan packets not passing on 2.6.32, but it does resolve with HAVE_8021P_SUPPORT defined (as expected). I will look into 2.6.16 as it's possible we take a different code path and let you know if I see something.
