Bug#366276: linux-image-2.6.16-1-686: e1000 VLAN support broken in linux-image 2.6.16-12 (2.6.16-1-686)
Package: linux-image-2.6.16-1-686
Version: 2.6.16-12
Severity: normal
After booting 2.6.16-12 linux-image VLAN support on Intel e1000 network interface is
broken. VLAN's did and do work on all previous Debian 2.6.16 linux-images.
--- example ---
# ifup vlan72
Set name-type for VLAN subsystem. Should be visible in /proc/net/vlan/config
Added VLAN with VID == 72 to IF -:eth0:-
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
vlan72: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
vlan72: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
vlan72: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up vlan72.
# cat /proc/net/vlan/config
VLAN Dev name | VLAN ID
Name-Type: VLAN_NAME_TYPE_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD
vlan72_temp | 72 | eth0
--- end example ---
These are messages I've seen earlier while trying to load VLAN support on
interfaces/drivers that doesn't support 802.1q. I noticed e1000 changes
from the latest linux-image changelog:
- NET: e1000: Update truesize with the length of the packet for packet split
Could this problem be related to this change ?
