Hey Dann,
Yes! So the vlan patch turned up in patch-2.6.9.bz2.
The changeset is on
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git
3c59x.c has a history list here in case this builds on other non 2.6.8 patches:
http://tinyurl.com/b8a95 On this you will clearly see the below commit listed:
Title: [PATCH] VLAN support for 3c59x/3c90x
commit 03e4b71f751da25d7b2d026ba6f4f904116e51e5
Body:
This adds VLAN support to the 3c59x/90x series hardware.
Stefan de Konink ported this code from the 2.4 VLAN patches and tested it
extensively. I cleaned up the ifdefs and fixed a problem with bracketing
that made older cards fail.
I hope that helps?
Thanks,
Stu.
