 I'm afraid that this PR is doomed.  5 years ago I worked for an
 academic network operations centre, where we ran ISL in FreeBSD
 using a homebrew implementation based on vlan(4).  Later, after I
 had got my commit bit, I wrote a mail to Cisco asking if they would
 like to relicense the ISL spec so that it could be implemented in
 open-source products.  I got an apparently negative reply.
 
 I still have working ISL code, but alas, I cannot make it public
 due to restrictive nature of Cisco's license on ISL.
