The latest version of my 802.1Q VLAN patch is available at: http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan.html The 2.4 kernel patch is attached. This patch should fix the multicast-reference leak, a crash bug relating to removing a VLAN device that had been renamed, and some work towards making VLANs more transparent to snoopy programs (ie tcpdump). This patch was made against 2.4.13-pre5... Dave, please consider this for kernel inclusion. I welcome any feedback, especially things that will help this patch get into the kernel...
