Hi, I am very interested in support for outgoing vlan tags.
I had an outline plan to implement it myself. The plan was 1. Add a field to the Netif structure for vlan id with default setting for no vlan. 2. Add a function to allow the vlan field to be set. This would only be called if the interface was to be associated with the vlan. 3. Add code to use the netif structure vlan field to generate the frame vlan tag if the vlan field was set. If there is a plan to add outgoing vlan support when might it be released?

I guess it hasn't been added yet since no one knew how outgoing VLAN support should look like. for example, I wouldn't have thought that it would be useful to support different VLAN tags on the same IP address. Instead, I would have added multiple netifs each with their own IP address or subnet and assigned a VLAN tag to the netif. Honestly, I wouldn't want to add a new argument in all the output functions for everybody for such a seldom used feature. Isn't there another way to implement this?
