RE: [PATCH 2/2] NET: Re-add VLAN tag for devices incapable of keeping it

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The Xframe (S2io) adapter can be programmed dynamically to either,
always strip the vlan tag or not. In this case, if the vlan group is
NULL, it can be programmed at run time to NOT strip the vlan tag.

When a packet with a Vlan id is received that is not added to the group,
should it be dropped or indicated up? Either can be handled by the
hardware. The vlan tag in this particular case will be stripped as the
vlan group is not NULL.
