Hi Vladimir

Reusing ETH_P_EDSA is possibility going to case problems in tcpdump.
It has code which looks for this Ethertype and uses it to call the
Marvell EDSA header decoder code. This is not going to work for your
switch, where you have a normal VLAN header.

I wounder if we should allocate a new EtherType for this application
of VLANs?
