802.1q on sunhme
list,
I would like to get vlan trunking working with my quadfastethernet card
and I have seen conflicting statements on whether or not my card is
capable of it and whether or not problems are simply in the driver.
This page: http://linux.box.sk/newsread.php?newsid=1148 says:
David S. Miller:
* [SUNHME]: Set RXMAX/TXMAX large enough to handle VLAN frames
* [NET]: Ok, sunhme is VLAN challenged after all
and in linux-2.6.20.6/drivers/net/sunhme.c it says:
/* Happy Meal can do it all... except VLAN. */
dev->features |= NETIF_F_SG | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM |
NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED;
On the other hand, http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan/howto.html
says it is mostly driver problems and there are kernel patches which I
assume have been merged by now, although I don't see one for sunhme.
This page from openbsd:
http://osdir.com/ml/openbsd.sparc/2003-06/msg00028.html says the chip
does support the bigger frames and the (openbsd) driver just needs to be
fixed. So can somebody confirm whether or not 802.1q works on the happy
meal chip and if the linux driver can be fixed? Vlan support would be
very useful with the quadfastethernet card for sparcstation routers.
Thank you, Nick Schmalenberger
