I know that at least ixgbe has this problem in the lastest version of Linux but I'm not sure about other drivers. I think it might be possible to just drop the check because recent kernels actually handle priority tagged packets better - they will send them to a vlan 0 device if it exists but otherwise ignore the tag. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
