[-- Attachment #1 --] I'm working on modernizing the vlan device (making it loadable, unloadable, and clonable) and I've run into this sysctl. It allows you to set the ethernet protocol used for vlan packets. This doesn't strike me as very useful and it will cause problems with modularizing this code because its value must be know by the ethernet code. NetBSD clearly agrees with me because they never imported that part of the code. If someone is actually using this feature with a relativly stock system I'll figure out how to support it, but I rather doubt that's the case. Thanks, Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
