When network devices are used in bridges, the bridge does an ethtool
ioctl to pick up the speed; this doesn't work with vlans.
This patch makes any ethtool gets forwarded to the under lying
real device.  It seemed to make sense to do MII as well.

Looks good to me.  I'll also send a patch against 2.6.8 (when it's out)
to bring the 2.6 VLAN code up to date with the latest 2.4 stuff.

Thanks,
Ben

The bridge STP code now wants to handle device's getting connected/disconnected
and this includes vlan devices.  This patch makes the VLAN pseudo device state
mirror the state of the real device.  Only bothered with carrier and hotplug.

This patch makes VLAN use RCU for the group lookup and removes
the group_lock.  Since all operations that are done under group_lock
already have the rtnetlink semaphore (RTNL), the group_lock is unnecessary.
The result is the vlan code becomes basically lock free in the send/receive
path.

Looks good to me, but I'm fairly ignorant of RCU at this point.  Will
trust Stephen knows what he is doing :)

By changing the ifr.ifr_name field, you are going to corrupt
the return value the user will see if ':' "colon" processing
is done by dev_ioctl().

An ifreq isn't too large, just use a local copy on
vlan_dev_ioctl()'s stack.
