Thanks for the reply, no I'm not saying anything 'broke' or 'did or
din't' work, I'm just reporting what I'm observing just in case anyone
goes 'ah yes' that's a problem with X. To sumarise my original e-mail:
4.7 AMD64 RE(4) does 'not' function with tagging enabled, the nic works
fine otherwise.
4.8 i386 DC(4) tagging works fine with the same port on the switch with
'no' changes to the switch configuration.
The OpenBSD vlan configuration is consistent between the two, all be it
with a change from re(4) to dc(4)
I will perform a 4.8 AMD64 upgrade on the 4.7 box tonight and attempt
again the vlan configuration to see if this solves the problem. I also
have an 8169 based adapter to hand, I'll try installing that an moving
the vlan config over.
Cheers for the patch, if all else fails I'll try this against thre re(4)
driver.

Hey Folks,
I've been pulling my hair out on this one for a little while now, I
have a 4.7 AMD64 release firewall based around an Intel D945GCLF
using the on-board 8101E based Realtek Nic which is connected to a
Netgear FSM726v1 L2 Managed switch.
I've been trying to configure the Firewall/Switch to run multiple
.1q vlans over the single interface without any luck. Configs listed
below. So in a fit of desperation I pulled out an old Nokia IP440,
installed 4.8 i386 release and configured up the 'same' vlan
interface, the Nokia uses the dc nic driver. In this configuration
with this device the tagging works!
Both devices where plugged into the same port on the switch, the
configuration of which wasn't changed.
So my question is this, is the problem with 4.7AMD64 the Realtek Nic
or the Intel D945GCLF board? Given the teething problems of BSD of
the Intel board I suspect its this but thought I'd try and save
myself the time in re-installing etc if someone in the know could
point out whats fubar'd.
Cheers guys, 4.8 yet another fantastic release ;)
Hmm. If I read this correctly you claim that VLAN support started to fail
between OpenBSD 4.7 and 4.8. Did you ever try to attach an other system
directly to the re(4) and do a tcpdump of the packets sent out/received by
re(4)? It would be interesting if TX or RX is affected.
The following diff disabled HW VLAN tagging support, maybe do a test with
this and see if this solves your problems.
