Hi Dave,

the qeth_l3 driver uses the neigh_setup function to turn off ARP for
IPv4. But since the vlan driver does not support a neigh_setup
function I had to add an ugly hack to the qeth_l3_add_vid function
(set the neigh_setup function of the vlan device to the function of
the real device). With the new net_device_ops this hack will not work
any longer so I want to add neigh_setup to the vlan driver.

Following patches add the neigh_setup to vlan and change qeth to
use the net_device_ops. Do you see any problems?

Or is there a better way to turn off ARP for IPv4 (we still need
neighbour solicitation for IPv6 so IFF_NOARP is no option)?

Thanks,
        Frank
