I think it's actually a substantial lose, since all that will happen
is that the VLAN code will

This shoud allow you to move the check for 802.1q packets down into
the normal ether_demux() which classifies

It has never proven useful to me, but all the V
I'm working on modernizing the vlan device (making it loadable,
unloadable, and clonable) and I've run into this sysctl. It allows you
to set the ethernet protocol used for vlan packets. This doesn't strike
me as very useful and it will cause problems with modularizing this code
because its valu
