Yes... did you have a chance to test the vlan stuff on LE machines
(x86) ? did it work with the BE swapping you were doing ? I've
purposedly removed in my patches the hardware side swapping of the
descriptors, as I explained, thus making the hardware react the same on
ppc and x86. Thus we need the exact same swapping macros on both
platforms).
I know pretty much nothing about vlan so I'm not too much about trying
to check that right now :)
Also, there is still the hw checksum issue .... I need to verify what's
up there, it might be a swapping problem as well... or not. Can you send
me your latest patch set so I can work from there ?
Cheers,
Ben
