Attached is a patch against the 2.4.26 802.1q vlan support header (kernel/linux/net/8021q/vlan.h) to make the startup info obey the "quiet" kernel parameter. Currently, it will dump its copyright information even if the quiet parameter is specified... including an "all bugs added by" "buggyright" message, which tends to confuse some people when it is the only thing displayed durring boot. -- Joshua Jackson Vortech Consulting, LLC http://www.vortech.net
