iptables and 802.1q tagging

[Paul Albert <palbert1@yahoo.com>]

Hi - 

I'm using a box with 2 network interfaces as a 
bridge with iptables.  I was attempting to send
packets
that were 802.1Q tagged to the QUEUE target and didn't

see them as expected.  After checking out my 
configuration, it seemed that everything was working
as 
expected (I fully expected something to be incorrect).

I googled to determine whether an iptables 
bridge that is filtering on IP addresses would be 
smart enough to pick up on the fact that the packets 
have 802.1Q tags or not.  No definitive answer was 
found.  My question is just that - does iptables 
notice that the tag is present or will it not know 
what to do with such a packet?

Thanks,
Paul
