This shoud allow you to move the check for 802.1q packets down into the normal ether_demux() which classifies packets based on ethertype. The former code was a check right above the main switch statement in ether_demux() because it was a sysctl, not a constant. I have some other patches around that ease the interrupt-time requirements by scheduling a NETISR for vlan traffic. I wasn't ever sure if that was a true win, so I didn't contrib them. I could dig them up if you're really interested in spiffing up the VLAN code. ;-) - Steve -- C. Stephen Gunn <csg@waterspout.com> | Waterspout Communications, Inc.
