Hello,
This doesn't answer your question, but I want to share what I have done
to overcome that lack of vlan tagging on certain enviroments using
OpenWRT/DD-WRT.
I simply use openvpn tunnels with tap interfaces(layer 2) and bridge
them with either a VAP interface or a separated Ethernet port. It's not
an ideal solution and adds up a little extra latency and CPU processing
but it's not a big deal and works fine and does the propose for when
other options don't work. Depending where this tunnels is passing
through (e.g: an already encrypted WPA2 link) I don't even bother to use
encryption on the openvpn configuration reducing the needed extra CPU).
Hope it helps.
In time: I like Guifi.net and often read your website for ideas. Please
put more content in either English or Spanish not in bloody Catalan !
Regards,
Fernando

Hello, I'm Ál Cano Santana, from Guifi.net free network in Catalunya. We're
making some parts of our mesh network with good and cheap router TP-Link
WDR3500 with OpenWrt. That router has a AR934X built-in switch that is not so
good and drop vlan tagged packets on switch, but it drops only in 802.1q, not
in IEEE 802.1ad.
So if we can implement UCI support for 802.1ad we can solve this problem.
Now mac-vlan is implemented in uci and works so fine, but as I saw only
supports 802.1q, and we have the problem that our switch drop 802.1q, but we
test with 802.1ad vlan packets and they aren't dropped.
Can you help us to implement this feature?
Sorry if I didn't explain it well, I can try to do it again if you need it.
Thanks.
