Hi Oliver,
(Note that I'm not a DD-WRT developer, this is just my experience
dealing with DD-WRT :)) DD-WRT support in Packetfence would be a
welcome addition! :)
VLAN support with DD-WRT works, but there are some caveats - For devices
with 100Mbit switches (such as the Linksys 160n), only VLANs 1-16 are
supported (this is a hardware limitation.)
Gigabit devices (such as the 610n, or E3000) are not yet officially
supported by DD-WRT, but configuration via command-line does work for
VLANs 2-16. The hardware for this is supposed to have full VLAN
support, but DD-WRT only works with 2-16 at the present time. One
other curiosity I've noticed with them is that when you enable VLAN
tagging ("trunking" in Cisco parlance), the device no longer sends or
responds to untagged traffic. Whether this is a hardware bug or a
DD-WRT issue I'm not sure.

rules translate into the virtual world?
