NETDEV isn't right place. I resent your letter to:
vlan@Scry.WANfear.com
(which is strictly posting-by-subscribers-only / others-via-moderator

Since the data type for the vlan_id is specified as an "unsigned short",
The comparison (vlan_id < 0) will always be false due to the range of the data
type.

Hi,
I hope you are the right receiver of 8021q-patches.
We are running SuSe 8.0, i.e kernel 2.4.18.
- When addding several egress-mappings we get stuck in an eternal
loop if they end up in the same hash-bucket, see vlan_dev.c.path.
- If we try to remove a vlan with VID 0, ifconfig stops working
completly.
We fixed it with vlan.c.patch.

It is nice to get VLAN questions and patches to the vlan list, but
I see no reason to restrict patches to that list. Dave is doing a
lot of the VLAN patching and up-keep these days, and I'm not even
sure he reads the vlan list....
So, I personally would be happy to have patches sent to the vlan
list, and cc'd to netdev and/or lkml. Questions about using/configuring
vlans should most likely remain on the vlan mailing list though...
Thanks,
Ben

Is there any reason to ever let someone add a VLAN of ID 0 in the first place?
