>Originator:     John "Heldenprogrammer" Ioannidis
>Release:        FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE i386
>Organization:
AT&T Labs - Research
>Environment:

	Latest cvsup of FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE

>Description:

	There is kernel support for 802.1Q VLANs (net/if_vlan.c,
net/if_vlan_var.h, code depending on NVLAN being defined in various
drivers), but no documentation, user-level programs, or even a config
line in i386/conf/LINT.  This being the -STABLE and not the -CURRENT
release, is there a point in committing unsupported code?  Did the
maintainer forget to also commit the associated user-level program and
man pages?

	Also, is support for cisco ISL VLANs planned?

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	n/a

>Fix:

	n/a	

Thanks,
