Bug#656754: linux-image-2.6.39-bpo.2-amd64: vlan malfunction
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.39-3~bpo60+1
Severity: important
Tags: d-i ipv6 upstream
The network functionality is only guaranteed on the underlying network interface with vlanid 0. dmesg does not report any problems concerning vlan. The 8021q module is loaded. It can be loaded and unloaded without problems. Network interfaces and bridge interfaces which have been set up to use vlan can not be used.
/proc/net/vlan/config reports interface-vlan-relations as usual. Manually setting up an interface using vconfig does not change the situation.
Monitoring an interface with iptraf shows traffic in eth0 (unidirectional), while traffic on vlan interface will always show non-ip traffic only.
Changing the raw interface does not show up a difference in this behaviour.
Installing ifupdown-scripts-zg2 and ifupdown-scripts-extras does not change anything.
Tested with amd64 on Asus M2A-VM board with RTL8111/8168B network chip a 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] network card.
The error is reproducible.
The same configuration works well on the 2.6.32 "stock" kernel.
