I'm not sure I understand your question.
EMAC can process 1518-sized packets without any problems (1500 + 12 +
2 + 4) even without this patch. These are normal (non-VLAN tagged
packets).
With my patch EMAC will be able to receive 1522 sized frames which
are VLAN-tagged with _any_ VLAN tag. Note VTPID contains L2 protocol
id, _not_ VLAN/priority field itself. If frame is bigger than 1518
but doesn't have 0x8100 right after the source MAC address, "Packet
Too Long" error will be generated.
Also, 440GX has an option to process jumbo frames, but this is
completely different story.
