Re: status of VLAN support in Debian/Linux in general

[Andreas John <aj@net-lab.net>]

Replying to myself:

1.) tulip driver in 2.6 does work with VLAN
(test was: ping -s 1472 <ip> vs.  ping -s 1468)

2.) I wrote about a framesize of a tagged frame with 1504 byte
I correct myself by quoting candelatech:
---
2 - 802.1q tagging adds an additional header field (4 Bytes) to the 
ethernet header, so that the maximum frame size is 1518 Octets instead 
of 1514 (with a standard MTU of 1500). The problem is that most network 
cards by default will flag those frames as oversized and drop them --

...

(I forgot that  MTU 1500 != max. frame size, because of frame header)
