Wrong MAC with vlans in LOG

Wrong MAC with vlans in LOG

[Krzysztof Oledzki]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 478 bytes --]

Hello,

Just discovered that -j LOG produces wrong MAC=(...) with non 
hardware-accelerated vlans:

IN=vlan6 OUT= MAC=00:0e:0c:a1:ba:ce:00:01:42:2f:3a:60:08:00 SRC=38.102.233.175 DST=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX LEN=225 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=46 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=4679 DPT=23020 LEN=205

Please notice that mac address is two bytes longer than it should be and 
the additional 08:00 is an ethertype value: 0x0800 - IPv4.

Any ideas?

Best regards,


 				Krzysztof Olędzki

That also happends for normal ethernet packets. We decided that its
not worth potentially breaking parsers to fix this, ipt_LOG is not
very well suited for anything but debugging anyway.
