Package: tcpdump
Version: 3.9.3-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

tcpdump does only display the fact that a frame carries a 802.1q VLAN
tag if the -e switch is given. However, that information is important
when one tries to debug why a system claims to not having received a
frame even if tcpdump shows the frame on the wire just fine. A Frame
with an 802.1q VLAN tag is not a frame carrying an IP datagram when
looking on the physical interface.

Please consider displaying this information in non -e tcpdump output
as well.

Greetings
Marc
