Hi, I've some questions regarding VLAN support in Debian and in Linux. First: is <http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan.html> still the main page? Google makes me think so, but there are some references to 2.2 kernels and none to 2.6 kernels, so I'm a bit unsure. 2.6 kernels: are they ready in general? The kernel.org and/or the debian kernels? kernel-patch-vlan is only in woody, so I guess recent 2.4 kernels don't need patches. Which ethernet cards are working? I'm interested in both fast ethernet and gigabit ethernet. VLAN is an IEEE standard - is it a real standard, or is it a 'it may work with some switches and not work with others'? (The simple format of the VLAN tag in the ethernet header makes me hope for the former...) Debian: Ok, I see there's the package 'vlan', so I guess it contains all I need. (Yes, some of the questions could be solved by experimenting - however, I don't have a VLAN capable switch yet. In fact, all I have is a 5 port 10M hub, an a couple of Realtek 10M network cards. Go figure...) greetings -- vbi -- pub 1024D/92082481 2002-02-22 Adrian von Bidder <avbidder@fortytwo.ch> Key fingerprint = EFE3 96F4 18F5 8D65 8494 28FC 1438 5168 9208 2481
