 Hello current

 I have run into a problem with my Broadcom NIC (Dell LATITUDE D600). I =
am not able to detect 802.1Q tags on incoming interface with ethereal or =
tcpdump. All incoming packets seems like they are not coming through =
trunk but as native ETH frames, ie. the vlan tag is missing, probably =
removed before being passed to tcpdump?

No I have not tested NIC's behaviour on 4.X, but I is working with linux =
(2.6.something kernel probably?)

Any ideas what to modify or set so I can detect vlan_tag would be very =
apreciated.

Regards, zdenek

Here is what I believe to be of interest:
