Hello list, I'd like to change behaviour of e1000 module when transmiting short ethernet frames (shorter then 64 bytes) trough VLAN interface.
Current e1000 (according to our observations) first appends 4 bytes of VLAN tag and then pads the frame to 64 bytes with zeroes if necessary before transmiting it. I'd like to change it so it first pads the frame to 64 B and appends the VLAN tag afterwards, so the resulting VLAN frame would be 68 bytes minimum. I want to do it because C3 CMTS from arris, which is connected to our linux box, has problems handling VLAN frames shorter then 68 bytes. As i'm quite a newbie concerning linux sources and c programing, i'd like to ask you if this'd be trivial or complex change and if someone can point out relevant portions of the sources, where the necessary changes should be done.
