Since Matthew Dodd fixed the existing vlan implementation (which, as I had previously recognized, is far cleaner than mine) I have removed my original patches. However, I still mantain a patch that removes the MTU limitation for the fxp driver and allows it to receive full-length packets (1500 bytes plus header). You can find it at: http://www.euitt.upm.es/~pjlobo/fxp-mtu-patch-4.x > I do have some modifications around that allow larger frame sizes on > 3Com 3c905B-TX cards.
