Anyway, I would like to play with vlan support, unfortunately mdio does not yet work for me yet. Sometimes it works and switch looks to be recognised correctly, but even then it is not properly initialised and no network traffic passes through. The same is valid for both external and intenal switch. > Thanks to Hiren/Sean for persevering on the DIR-825 rev C1 board port. > The config files and build script stuff should be committed in various > places in the next couple of days. > I would be happy to post my configs and have them in src tree, but it is not yet ready. Network must work reliably first. Regards, Milan
