Hi, After a significant amout of archive searching, and code tweaking, I am giving up and asking the list :)
I have a number of EPIA boards which need to operate in a mixed tagged-VLAN and untagged-interface environment using their onboard VIA-Velocity NICs. I am running a Debian ETCH 2.6.18 kernel, but have managed to backport the latest 2.6.24-rc5 via-velocity driver fairly simply. Sadly this does not seem to fix the problem. Having added some debug kprintf, it appears as if the hardware VLAN support is never enabled in this driver (vptr->vlgrp == NULL at all times). I added a velocity_vlan_rx_register method, and enabled the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX feature, which did start to cause the appropriate NIC registers to be set, but this simply stopped the inbound data working entirely if a tagged vlan was created. It manages to send packets both on the correct (tagged) vlan, and on the untagged interface. The stock driver also receives packets on the untagged interface okay, but inbound tagged packets never seem to make it into the net subsystem. I assume that the NIC is not allowing tagged packets into the driver due to its built-in hardware acceleration/filtering :( Is it inappropriate to beg for help and suggestions?
