> driver init
> 
> 
> The s2io driver keeps a local variable around (vlan_strip_flag) to
keep
> track of the current state of the hardware and whether or not it will
> strip VLAN tags on incoming packets.  It seems as though the hardware
> default is to strip them, but that variable is not set correctly
during
> initialization if the default setup is used.  This check ensures
> vlan_strip_flag and the hardware setting are in sync.
