As usual, we await your patches... ;^) FWIW, I'd like to see a solid implementation of 802.1q, too. Including the important but always overlooked stuff like per-VLAN arp tables, in case you have a Sun sitting on two VLANs using the same MAC address on both, and per-VLAN routing tables so you can have different VLANs with their own unique internet connections. I know, I know, we await my patches as well. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
