OK, with the hardware support re-enabled the frame now enters the driver. It is detected as VLAN frame and sent to VLAN_INPUT_TAG. The frame is then delivered via lower hook to the ng_vlan where it doesn't match the vlan tag so it goes out the nomatch hook. I guess with the VLAN tag stripped from the frame that ng_vlan can't match it. Is this the expected behavior with ng_vlan? I can just comment out the VLAN stripping line in the driver if it is the expected behavior. That isn't a big deal really. I haven't done a whole lot with the network interface drivers other than a few minor fixes here and there, but would it be hard to add some sort of flag to enable/disable the tag stripping via ifconfig? I was thinking that could be down through a "linkx" flag right? If the driver got the say "link1" it would down the interface, set clear the stripping config bits, and then re-up the interface. Or would this be better handled by a sysctl option? Does that sound safe and do-able? -- Jacob S.
