Well, that should be correct. eth0.0 is actually a special case of a vlan device: a device which only inserts the 802.1P tag. And 802.1P is the same as 1Q, except that the vlan tag is 0 instead of non-zero. What should happen is that eth0.0 get's created from eth0, and that eth0 is brought up. (eth0 should already exist). If something goes wrong there, then we really love to know. (This behaviour is normal since kernel 2.4.14 or so.) If that is not what you expected, then I would love to know why. If that is what you expected, can you send the ifup -v Regards, Ard (Not the official package maintainer) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
