I downloaded the driver and there is no kernel patch. I looks like I
need to build it manually and copy/overlay the kernel module over the
distro...

Well, I've spent a good deal of time testing a lot of different things
so that I can get VLANs working the way that I want on my Soekris
net4501. By default, these boards usually use the natsemi driver for
the ethernet interfaces. What I found out is that the stock natsemi
driver included with the kernel does not support VLANs at all.
However, National Semiconductor makes their own Linux driver called
macphy that does support VLANs. This driver can be downloaded from
http://www.national.com/appinfo/networks/macphyter2.html. I compiled
and installed this driver on my Soekris board and it works like a
charm! I'm very excited.
My only problem now is that somehow I messed something up and now I
can't load the driver anymore. It says that it has an invalid
format. I did redo my Voyage system after the first time I got it
working so I'm sure that in all the shuffling, I messed it up
somehow. Anyone have any clues as to where to look to solve that one?
Also, if it's possible, it would be great if macphy were included in
future Voyage releases as I'm sure others with National Semiconductor
chips will want VLAN support.
Thanks!
