Hi Emli, With your patch issue is now resolved, I can receive VLAN tagged packets. Thanks a lot for your support.
Thanks & Regards Vijay Agrawal -----Original Message----- From: Tantilov, Emil S [mailto:emil.s.tanti...@intel.com] Sent: 08 March 2014 06:53 To: Vijay Agrawal; Fujinaka, Todd; e1000-de...@lists.sf.net Subject: RE: [E1000-devel] ixgbe-3.17.3 :VLAN tagged packets does not work when using PF-PACKET socket , I ran a test on 2.6.16 kernel and had no trouble receiving vlan packets using a driver built with HAVE_8021P_SUPPORT defined.
