I wasn't aware that vlans could be configured using ip. I knew that with the macvlan in the kernel that they can only be configured using ip and not vconfig. I have to investigate since when ip and especially the kernel can understand what vconfig used to do. For internal usage I maintain vlan for sarge, etch and sid, including macvlan config support. So, yes, it's not that easy: I have to use vconfig *and* (mvconfig|ip) (depending on the kernel, only a few systems have kernel native macvlan support), so... /me sighs... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
