Hi,
I'm asking this question on behalf of someone else who cannot
read/write the mailing list. I don't know anything about VLANS
myself.
Somehow, VLANs seem to be only half-supported in -stable. The
kernel support is there since 3.2, but the options are missing
from ifconfig, and the vlan(4) manpage is missing, too (which
is referenced from several other manpages, e.g. ti(4)). Is
this intentional? Apparently, it works fine if ifconfig is
patched with the appropriate code from current.
Is the VLAN code in -stable actually considered "stable"? If
"no", then why is the code in -stable since 3.2? If "yes",
then why is the ifconfig support missing? I can't believe that
someone just forgot to MFC it...
(BTW: The VLAN support is needed for a production machine, so
running -current is not really an option.)
Regards
Oliver
