Hi Cedric,
If I remember correctly, if the hw vlan tag insertion feature is
activated then vlan tag 0 is inserted for non-vlan frames. VLAN-aware
hosts can deal with this, however this may pose problems for the
vlan-unaware ones (e.g. 802.1Q support not activated). I think this
is the main reason why the tx vlan accel is turned off by default.
regards,
Claudiu
